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 October 15, 2012 by the International Union of
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture
Workers - Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA), Local
86782 on behalf of workers of Trane U.S. Inc., Tyler
Operations, Residential Solutions division, Tyler, Texas. The
worker group herein known as Trane includes on-site leased
workers from Remedy Intelligent Staffing. The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of
residential condensers and heat pumps.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the U.S. International
Trade Commission Tariff Dataweb.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of residential condensers and heat pumps by
Trane have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company and
aggregate U.S. imports of articles like or directly
competitive with the article produced by Trane have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company and aggregate U.S. imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Trane.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trane U.S. Inc.,
Tyler Operations, Residential Solutions division, including
on-site leased workers from Remedy Intelligent Staffing,
Tyler, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of residential condensers and heat 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 Trane U.S. Inc., Tyler Operations,
Residential Solutions division, including on-site leased
workers from Remedy Intelligent Staffing, Tyler, Texas,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 12, 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 23rd day of November, 2012.
