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 November 21, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of TDY Industries, LLC, d/b/a ATI
Forged Products, Portland Operations, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, Portland, Indiana (TDY-
Portland). Workers of TDY-Portland are engaged in activities
related to the production of carbon steel forgings. The subject
worker group does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and the major
declining customer(s) of the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in TDY-Portland 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 TDY-Portland
sales and/or production o have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by
TDY-Portland 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/production declines at TDY-Portland.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TDY-Portland, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of carbon steel
forgings, 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 TDY Industries, LLC, d/b/a ATI Forged
Products, Portland Operations, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, Portland, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 20, 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 7th day of December 2020.
