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 August 19, 2016 by the International Association of
Machinists & Aerospace Workers on behalf of workers of Bayer
CropScience LP, Thiodicarb Unit, including on site-leased
workers from Belcan Corp., CDI Engineering Group, Jacobs
Engineering Group, Nitro Electric, Aetna Building Maintenance,
Austin Industrial, CH2M Hill, Dow Chemical Company, DNOW, EHS,
ESS Engineering Support, Greenwood, Inc., Johnston EHS,
Middough, Mistras Group, Materials Management Services, Inc.,
NOV Wilson, Orion Engineering, Shaw Group, Sirius Technical
Services, SLR International Corp., Summit, TUV Rheinland,
Veolia, and Wilson Supply, Institute, West Virginia (Bayer-
Thiodicarb). The subject worker group is engaged in activities
related to the production of thiodicarb.
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 Bayer-Thiodicarb 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the thiodicarb
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Bayer-Thiodicarb.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bayer-Thiodicarb, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of
thiodicarb, 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 Bayer CropScience LP, Thiodicarb Unit,
including on site-leased workers from Belcan Corp., CDI
Engineering Group, Jacobs Engineering Group, Nitro
Electric, Aetna Building Maintenance, Austin Industrial,
CH2M Hill, Dow Chemical Company, DNOW, EHS, ESS
Engineering Support, Greenwood, Inc., Johnston EHS,
Middough, Mistras Group, Materials Management Services,
Inc., NOV Wilson, Orion Engineering, Shaw Group, Sirius
Technical Services, SLR International Corp., Summit, TUV
Rheinland, Veolia, and Wilson Supply, Institute, West
Virginia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 18, 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 13th day of December 2016.
