Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker 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 on April 3, 2015, applicable to workers of
Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas Division, Parsons, Kansas. The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the
Federal Register on April 27, 2015 (80 FR 23295).
At the request of the Arkansas State Workforce Office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers are engaged in activities related to the
production of mortars, primers, and fuzes for munitions.
New information shows that worker separations have occurred
involving employees of Day & Zimmermann Lone Star LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann Group, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from ManpowerGroup, East Camden, Arkansas.
The employees support Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas Division,
Parsons, Kansas in the production of mortars, primers, and fuzes
for munitions.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
an increase in customer imports of mortars.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of Day & Zimmermann Lone Star
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann Group, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from ManpowerGroup, East
Camden, Arkansas (TA-W-85,867A).
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-85,867 is hereby
issued as follows:

“All workers of Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas Division,
Parsons, Kansas (TA-W-85,867) and Day & Zimmermann Lone
Star LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann
Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
ManpowerGroup, East Camden, Arkansas (TA-W-85,867A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 6, 2014, through April 3, 2017, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on date of certification 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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of May, 2016.

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:

such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the

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 March 9, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Day & Zimmerman, Inc., Kansas Division, Parsons,
Kansas. The workers' firm is engaged activities related to the
production of high explosive mortar rounds and demolition
charges.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and a survey of the firm's
major declining customer.
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 high explosive mortar rounds and demolition
charges by Day & Zimmerman, Inc. have decreased absolutely.

articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by Day & Zimmerman, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because

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
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Day & Zimmerman,
Inc., Kansas Division, Parsons, Kansas, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of high explosive mortar
rounds and demolition charges 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 Day & Zimmerman, Inc., Kansas Division,
Parsons, Kansas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 6, 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."
