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 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 have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 4, 2015 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Chromalloy Southwest, a subsidiary of Sequa Corporation,
Calexico, California (hereafter referred to as "Chromalloy"). The
workers' firm is engaged activities related to the production of
aircraft and land turbine vanes including the supply of
accounting, shipping and receiving services. The workers are not
separately identifiable by article or function. The worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
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)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Chromalloy.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chromalloy Southwest, a
subsidiary of Sequa Corporation, Calexico, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of aircraft and
land turbine vanes including the supply of accounting, shipping
and receiving services meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 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 Chromalloy Southwest, a subsidiary of Sequa
Corporation, Calexico, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 3, 2014, through two
years from the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the
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."
