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 May 12, 2016 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Remington Outdoor Company, Firearms Division, Remington
Outdoor Company, Inc., Hickory, Kentucky (Remington). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of Remington and Marlin long guns (sporting rifles). The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Temps Plus.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the U.S. International Trade
Commission, and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
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 Remington and Marlin long guns (sporting
rifles) by Remington 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 Remington 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 Remington.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Remington Outdoor
Company, Firearms Division, Remington Outdoor Company, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Temps Plus, Hickory,
Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of Remington and Marlin long guns (sporting rifles)
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 Remington Outdoor Company, Firearms
Division, Remington Outdoor Company, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Temps Plus, Hickory, Kentucky,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 11, 2015, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 10th day of June 2016.
