A SUBSIDIARY OF CATERPILLAR, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ROBERT HALF/ACCOUNTEMPS, AEROTEK, PHILLIPS STAFFING,
HAGEMEYER AND ATS, INC.
SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on October 29, 2013, applicable to workers
of Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services, Inc., a subsidiary of
Caterpillar, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
AccountTemps, Aerotek, Phillips Staffing, Hagemeyer and ATS,
Inc., Summerville, South Carolina. The workers are engaged in
activities related to remanufactured automotive and hydraulic
parts. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
November 21, 2013 (78 FR 69882).
At the request of the State, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information
from the company shows that workers leased from Robert
Half/AccounTemps were employed on-site at the Summerville, South
Carolina location of Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services,
Inc., a subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc. to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in the production of remanufactured automotive and
hydraulic parts to a foreign country.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Robert
Half/AccounTemps working on-site at the Summerville, South
Carolina location of the subject firm.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,094 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers from Caterpillar Reman Powertrain
Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Robert
Half/AccounTemps, Aerotek, Phillips Staffing,
Hagemeyer and ATS, Inc., Summerville, South Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 17, 2012, through
October 29, 2015, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 14th day of January 2014.

CATERPILLAR REMAN POWERTRAIN SERVICES, INC.

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ACCOUNTEMPS, AEROTEK,

SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

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 September 18, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc., Summerville, South Carolina. The
workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
remanufactured automotive and hydraulic parts. This determination
covers workers reporting wages under the following Federal
Employer Identification Numbers (FEINs): Caterpillar Reman
Powertrain Services, Inc. (58-1653182) and Caterpillar, Inc. (37-
0602744). The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from AccounTemps, Aerotek, Phillips Staffing, Hagemeyer
and ATS, Inc. The workers are not separately identifiable.
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
Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Caterpillar Reman
Powertrain Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from AccounTemps, Aerotek,
Phillips Staffing, Hagemeyer and ATS, Inc., Summerville, South
Carolina, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of remanufactured automotive and hydraulic parts 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 Caterpillar Reman Powertrain Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from AccounTemps, Aerotek, Phillips Staffing,
Hagemeyer and ATS, Inc., Summerville, South Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 17, 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., this 29th day of October, 2013.
