Amended 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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on March 11, 2015, applicable to
workers of ATI Specialty Alloys and Components, Albany
Operations, 34th Avenue, including on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd Connections, Evergreen
Engineering, Jibe Consulting, and Oregon Industrial,
Albany, Oregon. The Department’s Notice of Determination
was published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2015
(80 FR 19394).

At the request of a State Workforce Office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the
subject firm. The workers are engaged in in activities
related to the production of titanium ingot and mill
products.

New information shows that workers separated from
employment at ATI have their wages reported through a
separate federal employer identification number (FEIN)
under the name of Oregon Metallurgical and TDY Industries.

The intent of the Department’s certification is
to include all workers of the subject firm who were
adversely affected by increased imports of titanium ingot
and mill products. Accordingly, the Department is amending
this certification to properly reflect this matter.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-85,697
is hereby issued as follows:

"All workers of ATI Specialty Alloys and Components,
Albany Operations, 34th Avenue, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd Connections, Evergreen
Engineering, Jibe Consulting, and Oregon Industrial, Albany,
Oregon, including workers whose wages are reported under
Oregon Metallurgical and TDY Industries, who became totally
or partially from employment on or after July 4, 2014,
through March 11, 2017, 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.”

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
filed on December 8, 2014 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of ATI Specialty Alloys and Components, Albany
Operations, 34th Avenue, Albany, Oregon. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd
Connections, Evergreen Engineering, Jibe Consulting, and
Oregon Industrial. The workers' firm is engaged activities
related to the production of titanium ingot and mill products.
Workers of ATI Specialty Alloys and Components, Albany
Operations, 34th Avenue, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd Connections, Evergreen Engineering,
Jibe Consulting, and Oregon Industrial, Albany, Oregon were
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) under petition number TA-W-81,658 that expired on July 3,
2014.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and their major declining

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.

and/or production of titanium ingot and mills products by the
workers' firm have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the worker group have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
an increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at the worker
group.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor 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

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ATI Specialty Alloys
and Components, Albany Operations, 34th Avenue, including on-
site leased workers from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd
Connections, Evergreen Engineering, Jibe Consulting, and
Oregon Industrial, Albany, Oregon, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of titanium ingot and mill

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:

Albany Operations, 34th Avenue, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd Connections,
Evergreen Engineering, Jibe Consulting, and Oregon
Industrial, Albany, Oregon, who became totally or partially
