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. (Set forth in 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 August 6, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Precision Dormer, LLC, Crystal Lake Supply Unit, a
subsidiary of Sandvik, Inc., Crystal Lake, Illinois (Precision
Dormer Crystal Lake). The workers are engaged in activities
related to production of rotating drilling products. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Staff Mark.
The investigation revealed that workers of Precision Dormer
Crystal Lake, who are engaged in activities related to
production of rotating drilling products, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of rotating drilling products by Precision
Dormer Crystal Lake to foreign countries.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of rotating drilling products by Precision Dormer Crystal Lake
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Crystal Lake, Illinois facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Precision Dormer,
LLC, Crystal Lake Supply Unit, a subsidiary of Sandvik, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Staff Mark, Crystal Lake,
Illinois, who are engaged in employment related to production of
rotating drilling products, 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 Precision Dormer, LLC, Crystal Lake Supply
Unit, a subsidiary of Sandvik, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Staff Mark, Crystal Lake, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 3, 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 17th day of August, 2010
