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 petition
filed on December 27, 2013 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, Ripon, Wisconsin
(Alliance Laundry Systems LLC). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of commercial laundry
products and services.
The investigation revealed that on February 14, 2013, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
large residential washers from Korea and Mexico.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Alliance
Laundry Systems LLC. 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 14, 2013, which is within
one year of the date of the petition filed requesting Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alliance Laundry
Systems LLC, Ripon, Wisconsin, meet the requirements of Section
222(e) of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, Ripon,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
that employment on or after February 14,2012 through
February 14, 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 19th day of February, 2014
