Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) filed on October 15, 2014 by a
company official on behalf of workers of WorldClass Processing
Corporation, a subsidiary of Samuel, Son & Co. Limited, including
on-site leased workers from Integrative Staffing Group, LLC,
Ambridge, Pennsylvania (WorldClass or "subject firm"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of carbon
and stainless steel.
Workers were previously determined eligible to apply for TAA
benefits under TA-W-35,945 (certification expired April 6, 2014).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and
production of articles produced by WorldClass have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by WorldClass have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales and production declines at WorldClass.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if the
following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a significant
number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years of age or
older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers
in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of WorldClass Processing
Corporation, a subsidiary of Samuel, Son & Co. Limited, Ambridge,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of carbon and stainless steel, meet the worker group
certification criteria under 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of WorldClass Processing Corporation, a
subsidiary of Samuel, Son & Co. Limited, including on-site
leased workers from Integrative Staffing Group, LLC, Ambridge,
Pennsylvania, who become totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 14, 2013 through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
