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 July 22, 2009 by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 160 on behalf of workers
of Kenworth Truck Company, a division of PACCAR, Inc., Renton,
Washington. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of off-highway trucks. The investigation includes
workers in the Assembly (TA-W-71,783) and Administrative (TA-W-
71,783A) Departments who are not covered under certification TA-
W-64,784.
The investigation revealed that workers of Kenworth Truck
Company, a division of PACCAR, Inc., Renton, Washington who
are engaged in employment related to the assembly of off-
highway trucks meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers have become separated at the Renton, Washington
location within both the Assembly (TA-W-71,783) and
Administrative (TA-W-71,783A) Departments.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm is
shifting production to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm at the Renton, Washington location.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico by Kenworth Truck Company contributed
importantly to worker separations within the Assembly (TA-W-
71,783) and Administrative (TA-W-71,783A) Departments at the
Renton, Washington facility.




















Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kenworth Truck
Company, a division of PACCAR, Inc., Assembly Department (TA-
W-71,783) and Administrative Department (TA-W-71,783A),
Renton, Washington 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 Kenworth Truck Company, a division of
PACCAR, Inc., Assembly Department, Renton, Washington
(TA-W-71,783) and Kenworth Truck Company, Administrative
Department, Renton, Washington (TA-W-71,783A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 21, 2008, through two years from the date of
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 31st day of March, 2010
