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 17, 2013 on behalf of workers of Dresser-Rand
Group, Painted Post, New York. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of reciprocating air
compressors and component parts. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Superior Technical Resources, Inc.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of reciprocating air compressors and
component parts by Dresser-Rand Group, Painted Post, New York
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the reciprocating
air compressors and component parts produced by Dresser-Rand
Group, Painted Post, New York have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Dresser-Rand
Group, Painted Post, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dresser-Rand Group,
Painted Post, New York, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of reciprocating air compressors and component
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 Dresser-Rand Group, including on-site
leased workers from Superior Technical Resources, Inc.,
Painted Post, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 3, 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 14th day of November, 2013
