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 29, 2020 by the United Steelworkers, Local 4856, on
behalf of workers and former workers of Titanium Metals
Corporation (TIMET), a wholly owned subsidiary of Precision
Castparts Corporation, Henderson, Nevada (TIMET-Henderson). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of titanium sponge, ingots, and electrodes for aerospace,
defense, and industrial applications. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek, AppleOne, and
Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in TIMET-Henderson 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 sales and/or
production at TIMET-Henderson have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because firm imports
of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by
TIMET-Henderson 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 firm imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at TIMET-
Henderson.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TIMET-Henderson, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of titanium
sponge, ingots, and electrodes, 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 Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Precision Castparts Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, AppleOne,
and Manpower, Henderson, Nevada, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 21, 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 6th day of September 2020.
