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 December 20, 2018 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Bayer CropScience LP, a subsidiary of Bayer
Corporation, Institute, West Virginia (Bayer CropScience LP)"
The workers' firm was engaged in activities related to the
production of larvin and thiodicarb. Some workers may have
wages reported under Bayer U.S. LLC. The workers are not
separately identifiable by articles produced by the firm.
The subject worker group includes 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.
Members of the subject worker group were eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under workers were
covered under a previous certification under TA-W-92,123
(certification expired on December 13, 2018).
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 Bayer CropScience LP 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Bayer CropScience LP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bayer CropScience LP,
Institute, West Virginia, who were engaged in activities related
to the production of larvin and 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, a subsidiary of
Bayers Corporation, including workers whose wages are
reported under Bayer U.S. LLC, and 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

separated from employment on or after December 14, 2018
through two years from the date of certification, and all
