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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 26, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Exterran Energy Solutions, LP, Process and
Treating division, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (herein known as
"Exterran Energy Solutions, LP" or "workers' firm"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of process and treating equipment sold to oil and natural gas
service providers. The workers' firm also encompasses on-site
leased workers from American Staff Corp., Employee Solutions
(formerly Bridge Employment Services), Insulation Specialist
of Tulsa (ISTI), ERT Quality Solutions, and South Texas
Specialty Welders.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to separations at
Exterran Energy Solutions, LP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Exterran Energy
Solutions, LP, Process and Treating division, including on-
site leased workers from American Staff Corp., Employee
Solutions (formerly Bridge Employment Services), Insulation
Specialist of Tulsa (ISTI), ERT Quality Solutions, and South
Texas Specialty Welders, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of process and
treating equipment sold to oil and natural gas service
providers 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 Exterran Energy Solutions, LP, Process and
Treating division, including on-site leased workers from
American Staff Corp., Employee Solutions (formerly Bridge
Employment Services), Insulation Specialist of Tulsa
(ISTI), ERT Quality Solutions, and South Texas Specialty
Welders, Broken Arrow, 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 12th day of November 2015.
