Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision 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 or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 11, 2015 by company officials on behalf of
workers of SERVA Group LLC, Catoosa, Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828) and
SERVA Group LLC, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828A) ("worker
group" or "subject firm"). The worker group is also inclusive
of on-site leased workers of Express Personnel and Aerotek. The
workers' firm is engaged activities related to the production of
oil field pumps and fracturing equipment.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and workers' firm major
declining domestic customers.
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 oilfield pumps and fracturing equipment
by SERVA Group LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by SERVA Group LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
SERVA Group LLC.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SERVA Group LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Express Personnel and
Aerotek, Catoosa, Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828) and SERVA Group LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Express Personnel and
Aerotek, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828A), who are engaged in
activities related to the production of oil field pumps and
fracturing equipment meet the worker group certification
criteria under 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 SERVA Group LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Express Personnel and Aerotek, Catoosa,
Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828) and SERVA Group LLC, including on-
site leased workers from Express Personnel and Aerotek,
Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-85,828A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
10, 2014, 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 are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
