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 August 30, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Millennium Rail, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Watco Companies, LLC,
Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania (Millennium Rail-Hollidaysburg).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of railcar repair, maintenance, and refurbishment services.
Workers are not separately identifiable by the service supplied.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and petition.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Millennium Rail-
Hollidaysburg 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 Millennium
Rail-Hollidaysburg sales has decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
service supplied by Millennium Rail-Hollidaysburg have
increased during the relevant period when compared to the
representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at Millennium Rail-
Hollidaysburg.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Millennium Rail-
Hollidaysburg, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of railcar repair, maintenance and refurbishment
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 Millennium Rail, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Watco Companies, LLC, Hollidaysburg,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 29, 2018 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 September 2019.
