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 October 17, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of Cummins Inc.,
Lake Mills, Iowa. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to production of oil and fuel filters, head assembly,
stratapore media and metal components. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower and Whelan Security.
Workers of Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of Cummins
Inc., Lake Mills, Iowa were certified under petition number
TA-W-80,484 that expired on October 19, 2013. That
certification included leased workers from Manpower, but did
not include leased workers from Whelan Security.
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of Cummins
Inc., Lake Mills, Iowa.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cummins Filtration, a
subsidiary of Cummins Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Manpower and Whelan Security, Lake Mills, Iowa, who are
engaged in activities related to production of oil and fuel
filters, head assembly, stratapore media and metal components,
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 Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of
Cummins Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Lake Mills, Iowa (TA-W-83,138) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 20, 2013 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,
AND
All leased workers from Whelan Security, working on-site
at Cummins Filtration, a subsidiary of Cummins Inc., Lake
Mills, Iowa (TA-W-83,138A) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 30, 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 24th day of October, 2013.
