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 May 1, 2015 by three workers on behalf of Regulator
Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a subsidiary of Emerson, Tulsa
Oklahoma. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of oilfield valves and flame and detonation
arrestors. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, the workers'
firm major declining customers, and the United States
International Trade Commission.
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 valves and flame and detonation
arrestors by Regulator Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a subsidiary of
Emerson, Tulsa Oklahoma have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by Regulator Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a subsidiary of
Emerson, Tulsa Oklahoma have increased. A customer survey was
conducted of the workers' firm major declining customers which
revealed an increased reliance on imports.
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 Regulator
Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a subsidiary of Emerson, Tulsa
Oklahoma.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Regulator
Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a subsidiary of Emerson, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Tulsa Oklahoma, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of oilfield and
pump and valve 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 Regulator Technologies Tulsa, LLC, a
subsidiary of Emerson, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Tulsa Oklahoma, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 30,
2014, 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 26th day of April 2016.
