INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM SPHERION
ASHLAND, OHIO

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 May 14, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Pentair Pump Group, Inc., Ashland, Ohio (Pentair).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of pumps, pump components (such as castings, shafts,
stampings, and power cords), and reciprocating pumps. The
workers are not separately identifiable. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Spherion.
Pentair workers and on-site leased workers from Spherion
are covered under a previous certification (TA-W-73,726; expires
on May 25, 2012). The worker group eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-73,726 included on-site
leased workers from Mancan; however, workers from Mancan are not
part of the worker group covered by TA-W-81,608.
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
articles like or directly competitive with the pumps, pump
components, and reciprocating pumps produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Pentair.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pentair Pump Group,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Spherion, Ashland,
Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
pumps, pump components, and reciprocating pumps 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 Pentair Pump Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Spherion, Ashland, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 26, 2012 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., on this 24th day of May, 2012
