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 June 23, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of PCC Structurals, Inc., a subsidiary of Precision
Castparts Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek Staffing and Recruiting and PQNDT, Redmond, Oregon
(PCC-Redmond). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of complex investment castings.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and other
sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in PCC-Redmond 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 production of
an article like or directly competitive with the article
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at PCC-Redmond.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PCC-Redmond, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of complex
investment castings, 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 PCC Structurals, Inc., a subsidiary of
Precision Castparts Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek Staffing and Recruiting and PQNDT,
Redmond, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 7, 2019 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.
