INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER PROFESSIONALS,
MANPOWER, INC., EXPRESS EMPLOYMENT PROFESSIONALS
AND HP ENTERPRISE SERVICES
FALCONER, NEW YORK

Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on February 4, 2010, applicable to workers of SKF
Aeroengine Falconer, a subsidiary of AB SKF, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower Professionals, Manpower, Inc. and
Express Employment Professionals, Falconer, New York. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2010 (75 FR
11924).
At the request of the state, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of precision ball and roller bearings.
The company reports that workers leased from HP Enterprise
Services, were employed on-site at the Falconer, New York
location of SKF Aeroengine Falconer, a subsidiary of AB SKF. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from HP Enterprise
Services, working on-site at the Falconer, New York location of
SKF Aeroengine Falconer, a subsidiary of AB SKF.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,862 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers SKF Aeroengine Falconer, a subsidiary of
AB SKF, including on-site leased workers from Manpower
Professionals, Manpower, Inc., Express Employment
Professionals and HP Enterprise Services, Falconer, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 8, 2008, through
February 4, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 16th day of July 2010.

A SUBSIDIARY OF AB SKF
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER PROFESSIONALS,

FALCONER, NEW YORK

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 November 17, 2009, on behalf of workers of SKF Aeroengine
Falconer, a subsidiary of AB SKF, Falconer, New York. The
workers produce precision ball and roller bearings for the aero
engine and helicopter industries. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Manpower Professionals, Manpower Inc., and
Express Employment Professionals.
The investigation revealed that workers of SKF Aeroengine
Falconer who are engaged in employment related to the production
of precision ball and roller bearings meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to the United Kingdom the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
by the subject firm contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Falconer, New York facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SKF Aeroengine
Falconer, a subsidiary of AB SKF, Falconer, New York, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of precision ball
and roller bearings 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 SKF Aeroengine Falconer, a subsidiary of AB
SKF, including on-site leased workers from Manpower
Professionals, Manpower Inc., and Express Employment
Professionals, Falconer, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 6,
2008, 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.”
