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 December 4, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Mitchel & Scott Machine Company, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of The Mitchel Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from National Construction Workforce,
Indianapolis, Indiana (TA-W-95,441); and Tennessee Screw
Machine Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Mitchel
Group, Inc., McMinnville, Tennessee (TA-W-95,441A) (The
Mitchel Group). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of precision turned parts for the
automotive, diesel, and HVAC industries.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and 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 such workers' firm 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 the sales
and/or production of precision turned parts by The Mitchel
Group have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by The Mitchel Group have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at The
Mitchel Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mitchel & Scott
Machine Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Mitchel
Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from National
Construction Workforce, Indianapolis, Indiana (TA-W-95,441);
and Tennessee Screw Machine Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of The Mitchel Group, Inc., McMinnville, Tennessee (TA-W-
95,441A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of precision turned parts for the automotive,
diesel, and HVAC industries, 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 Mitchel & Scott Machine Company, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of The Mitchel Group, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from National Construction
Workforce, Indianapolis, Indiana (TA-W-95,441); and
Tennessee Screw Machine Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Mitchel Group, Inc., McMinnville,
Tennessee (TA-W-95,441A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 3, 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 15th day of September 2020.
