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 June 1, 2010 on behalf of workers of TECO-Westinghouse
Motor Company, a subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA, Inc., Round
Rock, Texas. The workers produce motors and generators for
industrial applications. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from HT Staffing, Manpower, Corestaff and LK
Jordan.
The investigation revealed that workers of TECO-
Westinghouse Motor Company, a subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA,
Inc., Round Rock, Texas, who are engaged in activities related
to production of motors and generators, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers at the workers' firm were separated
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of motors and generators by TECO-Westinghouse
Motor Company, a subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA, Inc., Round
Rock, Texas have decreased absolutely during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the motors and
generators produced by the firm have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of motors and generators contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company, a
subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA, Inc., Round Rock, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TECO-Westinghouse
Motor Company, a subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from HT Staffing, Manpower,
Corestaff and LK Jordan Round Rock, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to production of motors and generators, 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 TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company, a
subsidiary of TECO Holdings USA, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from HT Staffing, Manpower, Corestaff and
LK Jordan, Round Rock, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 27,
2009, 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 26th day of January, 2011
