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 July 24, 2020 by United Steelworkers, Local 40, on
behalf of workers and former workers of Huntington Alloys
Corporation, Special Metals Division, Huntington, West
Virginia (Huntington-Special Metals). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of high
performance nickel-based alloys. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and are not
separately identifiable by article produced.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and the firm's
major declining customer(s).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Huntington-Special Metals
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 Huntington-
Special Metals sales and/or production have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the alloys produced
by Huntington-Special Metals have increased during the
relevant period when compared to the representative base
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Huntington-
Special Metals.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Huntington-Special
Metals 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 Huntington Alloys Corporation, Special
Metals Division, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Huntington, West Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 23, 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 8th day of December 2020.
