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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (1) is published in the Federal
Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b)(1), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on April 22, 2013 by
the State of North Dakota on behalf of workers of DMI
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Otter Tail Corporation,
Fargo, North Dakota (TA-W-82,675) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (TA-W-
82,675A) (hereafter collectively referred to as "DMI
Industries"). The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Volt Services, Manpower, Spherion Staffing, and
Preference Personnel. The workers' firm produces utility scale
wind towers for the wind turbine alternate energy industry.
The investigation revealed that on February 8, 2013, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
utility scale wind towers.
That firm was publicly identified by name by the
International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in a category of
determination that is listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(e). In addition, that determination was published
in the Federal Register on February 13, 2013, which is within
one year of the date of the TAA petition.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DMI Industries, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Otter Tail Corporation, Fargo, North Dakota
(TA-W-82,675) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (TA-W-82,675A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of utility scale
wind towers, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:


"All workers of DMI Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of
Otter Tail Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Volt Services, Manpower, Spherion Staffing, and
Preference Personnel, Fargo, North Dakota (TA-W-82,675)
and DMI Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Otter Tail
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Volt
Services, Manpower, Spherion Staffing, and Preference
Personnel, Tulsa, Oklahoma (TA-W-82,675A), who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after February 13, 2012, through the date of the
certification and who become totally or partially separated
from that employment from the date of the certification
through February 13, 2014, 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 4th day of June, 2013
