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 22, 2014 by the International Union of
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers,
Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA), Local 101, on
behalf of workers of OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., St. Marys,
Pennsylvania. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from W&W Contractors and Sons, Inc., Manpower and YOH Services
LLC. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of incandescent, halogen, and Light-Emitting Diodes
(LED) light bulbs (i.e. light bulbs).
Workers of OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from W&W Contractors and Sons, Inc., St. Marys,
Pennsylvania were certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-81,688 that
expired on July 9, 2014. The on-site leased workers from
Manpower and YOH Services LLC were not covered by that
certification.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's major declining
customers.
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 light bulbs by OSRAM Sylvania, Inc. 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 OSRAM Sylvania, Inc. have increased.
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 OSRAM
Sylvania, Inc.
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
transferable.
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 OSRAM Sylvania, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from W&W Contractors and Sons,
Inc., St. Marys, Pennsylvania (TA-W-85,743) and workers of
Manpower and YOH Services LLC, working on-site at OSRAM
Sylvania, Inc., St. St. Marys, Pennsylvania (TA-W-85,743A), who
are engaged in activities related to production of incandescent,
halogen, and Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) light bulbs 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 OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from W&W Contractors and Sons, Inc., St.
Marys, Pennsylvania (TA-W-85,743), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 10,
2014 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,
AND
All workers of Manpower and YOH Services LLC, working on-
site at OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., St. Marys, Pennsylvania (TA-
