CUMMINS FILTRATION
A SUBSIDIARY OF CUMMINS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS
FROM ALLEGIS, AND MANPOWER
COOKEVILLE, TENNESSEE

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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 26, 2012, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of Cummins, Inc.,
Cookeville, Tennessee (Cummins Filtration). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of oil, fuel,
and air filters, stratapore media and metal components. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Allegis, and Manpower.
The investigation revealed that the workers at the subject
firm were previously certified eligible to apply for TAA which
expired on December 10, 2011, (TA-W-72,914).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cummins Filtration.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cummins Filtration, a
subsidiary of Cummins, Inc., Cookeville, Tennessee, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of oil, fuel,
and air filters, stratapore media and metal components 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 Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of
Cummins, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Allegis, and Manpower, Cookeville, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 11, 2011, 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 22nd day of February, 2012.
