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 June 28, 2013 by workers of Atlas Copco Drilling
Solutions LLC, RCI Division, a subsidiary Atlas Copco AB,
Garland, Texas (Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions). The subject
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
drilling equipment. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Staff Sense and Aerotek.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Atlas
Copco Drilling Solutions LLC, Garland, Texas.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Atlas Copco Drilling
Solutions LLC, RCI Division, a subsidiary of Atlas Copco AB,
Garland, Texas who are/were engaged in employment related to the
production of drilling equipment, 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 Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions LLC, RCI
Division, a subsidiary of Atlas Copco AB, including on-site
leased workers from Staff Sense and Aerotek, Garland,
Texas who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 25, 2012, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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."
