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 21, 2017 on behalf of workers of Huntington Foam
LLC, DBA Huntington Solutions, Corporate Office, Jeannette,
Pennsylvania (Huntington Foam-Corporate Office). The subject
worker group (Huntington Foam-Corporate Office) are engaged in
activities related to the supply of support services (such as
accounting and information technology). The subject worker
group (Huntington Foam-Corporate Office) includes on-site leased
workers from Contingent Resource Solutions, Jump Start, and
Staffing Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Huntington Foam-Corporate
Office 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 a portion of the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the support services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Huntington Foam-Corporate Office.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Huntington Foam-
Corporate Office, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of support 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 Huntington Foam LLC, DBA Huntington
Solutions, Corporate Office, including on-site leased
workers from Contingent Resource Solutions, Jump Start,
and Staffing Inc., Jeannette, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 21, 2016 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 20th day of October 2017.
