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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 19, 2016 by the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers, Local 615, on behalf of workers of
Pennsylvania Electric Coil, Ltd, a subsidiary of Integrated
Power Services LLC, Glassport, Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania
Electric Coil, Ltd). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of high voltage (6.6kV-15kV) stator
coils for electric motors and generators and the supply of
motor repair services. The subject worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and its major declining
customer(s).
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Pennsylvania
Electric Coil, Ltd is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group
of workers who received a certification of eligibility under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
is related to the finished article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Pennsylvania Electric Coil, Ltd with the firm that
employed a certified worker group contributed importantly to
worker separations at Pennsylvania Electric Coil, Ltd.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pennsylvania Electric
Coil, Ltd, Glassport, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of high voltage (6.6kV-
15kV) stator coils for electric motors and generators and the
supply of motor repair services, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Pennsylvania Electric Coil, Ltd, a
subsidiary of Integrated Power Services LLC, Glassport,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 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 27th day of February 2017.
