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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 28, 2009 on behalf of workers of Grove US LLC, a
subsidiary of Manitowoc Company, Inc., Shady Grove, Pennsylvania
(Grove US LLC). The workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of hydraulic cranes. The workers are not
separately identifiable by products produced.
The investigation revealed that the worker group at the
subject firm includes on-site leased workers from Advanced
Industrial Services, Inc., Aerotek Commercial Staffing,
Aerotek Prefessional Services, Aerotek, Inc., C.H. Reed, CCM,
Controls Services & Engineering Co., Inc., Delta Electric,
Domino Technologies INC, Equipment Depot, Glessner Alarm &
Communication, Global Data Consultants, IH Services
Incorporated, Industrial Maintenance & Repair Service, L.L.C.,
Jones Lawn Service, Keeney Fire Extinguisher Service, KGB CNC
& Networking Service, Manpower, MRI Contract Staffing Inc.,
MST, On Assignment Lab Support, Poper Cleaning Services,
PTC/Syntel PDM Link/PLM, Reed Machinery & Equipment Inc.,
Reliance Crane & Hoist, Inc., Service-Now, SGT Steel Welding,
LLC, SYC Logistics Inc., Symon Communications Inc., Syntel,
Inc., System One, TEK Systems, The Genusys Group, Inc., Venture
System Source, and Waynesboro Design Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Grove US LLC,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
hydraulic cranes meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of hydraulic cranes decreased during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with the
hydraulic cranes produced at the subject firm have increased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and declines in sales and production at Grove US
LLC.

investigation, I determine that workers of Grove US LLC, a
subsidiary of Manitowoc Company, Inc., including on-site leased
