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 April 27, 2015 by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America, Locals 226 & 2274 and the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local 2918 on behalf of
workers of Pure Power Technologies, a subsidiary of Navistar,
Indianapolis, Indiana. The workers’ firm is engaged activities
related to the production of grey iron and compacted graphite
castings used in the production of engines. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Maxim Staffing Solutions,
Aerotek, Bartech and Total Facilities Maintenance.
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 grey iron and compacted graphite castings
by Pure Power Technologies, a subsidiary of Navistar,
Indianapolis, Indiana have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by Pure Power Technologies, a subsidiary of Navistar,
Indianapolis, Indiana have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Pure Power
Technologies, a subsidiary of Navistar, Indianapolis, Indiana.
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 Pure Power
Technologies, a subsidiary of Navistar, Indianapolis, Indiana,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of grey
iron and compacted graphite castings 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 Pure Power Technologies, a subsidiary of
Navistar, including on-site leased works from Maxim
Staffing Solutions, Aerotek, Bartech and Total Facilities
Maintenance, Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
25, 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.”
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 19th day of May, 2015
