REC Silicon LLC, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Renewable Energy 
Corporation ASA, Including Workers Whose Wages Were Reported Under REC

Wholly Owned Subsidiary of REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, Including

Silicon ASA, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, 
Silver Bow, Montana; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On May 16, 2016, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of REC Silicon LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Renewable Energy Corporation ASA, Moses Lake, Washington (TA-W-91,121), 
and REC Silicon ASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of REC Solar Grade 
Silicon LLC, Silver Bow, Montana (TA-W-91,121A) (herein referred to as 
``REC Silicon''). The firm is engaged in activities related to the 
production of Silane Gas and Polysilicon. The worker group was 
previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
under petition number TA-W-82,458 and TA-W-82,458A which expired on 
March 22, 2015. The subject worker group includes on-site leased 
workers from Express Employment Professionals (TA-W-91,121), Nemo IT 
Solutions (TA-W-91,121B), and Spherion Staffing, LLC (TA-W-91,121C). 
Nemo IT Solutions and Spherion Staffing, LLC were not included in the 
certification for TA-W-82,458. The subject worker group also includes 
workers whose wages were reported under REC Solar Grade Silicon (TA-W-
91,121) and REC Advanced Silicon Materials (TA-W-91,121A).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 
additional information regarding the firms' previous certification to 
supplement that which was gathered during the initial investigation.
    Based on the new information supplied by the firm and provided by 
the petitioner during the reconsideration investigation, the Department 
of Labor determines that a shift in production of silane gas and 
polysilicon has contributed importantly to the worker separations at 
the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of REC Silicon LLC, a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Renewable Energy Corporation ASA, including workers 
whose wages were reported under REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, including 
on-site leased workers from Express Employment Professionals, Moses 
Lake, Washington (TA-W-91,121), REC Silicon ASA, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, including workers whose 
wages were reported under REC Advanced Silicon Materials, Silver Bow, 
Montana (TA-W-91,121A), NEMO IT Solutions, working on-site at REC 
Silicon LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renewable Energy Corporation 
ASA, Moses Lake, Washington (TA-W-91,121B), and Spherion Staffing LLC, 
working on-site at REC Silicon ASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of REC 
Solar Grade Silicon LLC, Silver Bow, Montana (TA-W-91,121C) who were 
engaged in employment related to production of saline gas and 
polysilicon, 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 REC Silicon LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Renewable Energy Corporation ASA, including workers whose wages were 
reported under REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, including on-site leased 
workers from Express Employment Professionals, Moses Lake,

of REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC, including workers whose wages were 
reported under REC Advanced Silicon Materials, Silver Bow, Montana 
(TA-W-91,121A), who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after March 23, 2015, through two years from the 
date of this certification, and all workers in the group threatened 
with total or partial separation from employment on 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;

AND,

certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
