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 January 19, 2016, applicable to workers of
Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special Metals Division, a
subsidiary of Special Metals Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services, Huntington, West Virginia
(TA-W-86,089). The Department’s notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on February 25, 2016 (81 FR
9510).
At the request of a 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
nickel based alloys in a variety of forms including but not limited
to ingot, billet, bar, wire rod, tube, plate, and sheet products.
The company reports that workers from Huntington Alloys
Corporation, Special Metals Division, a subsidiary of Special
Metals Corporation, Burnaugh, Kentucky are engaged in activities
related to the production of nickel based alloys in a variety of
forms including but not limited to ingot, billet, bar, wire rod,
tube, plate, and sheet products.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports of nickel based alloys in a variety of forms
including but not limited to ingot, billet, bar, wire rod, tube,
plate, and sheet products.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers from Huntington Alloys
Corporation, Special Metals Division, a subsidiary of Special
Metals Corporation, Burnaugh, Kentucky.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-86,089 and TA-W-86,089A
is hereby issued as follows:

"All workers of Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special
Metals Division, a subsidiary of Special Metals
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Huntington, West Virginia (TA-W-86,089)
and Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special Metals
Division, a subsidiary of Special Metals Corporation,
Burnaugh, Kentucky (TA-W-86,089A) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 10,
2014, through January 19, 2018, 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 15th day of December, 2016.

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm 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.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 11, 2015 by the United Steelworkers (USW), Local
40 on behalf of workers of Huntington Alloys Corporation,
Special Metals Division, a subsidiary Of Special Metals
Corporation, Huntington, West Virginia. The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of nickel based
alloys in a variety of forms including but not limited to ingot,
billet, bar, wire rod, tube, plate, and sheet products. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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/or production of nickel based alloys in a variety of forms
including but not limited to ingot, billet, bar, wire rod, tube,
plate, and sheet products by Huntington Alloys Corporation,
Special Metals Division, a subsidiary Of Special Metals
Corporation, Huntington, West Virginia have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special Metals
Division, a subsidiary Of Special Metals Corporation,
Huntington, West Virginia have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Huntington Alloys
Corporation, Special Metals Division, a subsidiary Of Special
Metals Corporation, Huntington, West Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Huntington Alloys
Corporation, Special Metals Division, a subsidiary Of Special
Metals Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Huntington, West Virginia, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of nickel based alloys in a
variety of forms including but not limited to ingot, billet,
bar, wire rod, tube, plate, and sheet products 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 Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special
Metals Division, a subsidiary Of Special Metals
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services, Huntington, West Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 10,
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.”
