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 July 28, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Process Mfg. Co., Inc., including on-site leased
workers from T.R.S. and Stand-By Personnel, Tulsa, Oklahoma
(herein referred to as "Process Mfg. Co., Inc."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
cementing, mixing, and stimulating units for well service
companies.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, workers' firm, and major
declining customer.
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 cementing, mixing, and stimulating units
for well service companies by Process Mfg. Co., Inc. have
decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Process Mfg. Co., Inc. have increased in
reliance.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
customer's increased import reliance contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at Process Mfg. Co., Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Process Mfg. Co.,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from T.R.S. and Stand-
By Personnel, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of cementing, mixing, and stimulating
units for well service companies 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 Process Mfg. Co., Inc., including on-site
leased workers from T.R.S. and Stand-By Personnel, Tulsa,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 1, 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 2nd day of June 2016.
