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 October 2, 2015 by the State Workforce office on behalf
of workers of Alfa Laval Inc., a subsidiary of Alfa Laval AB,
Alfa Laval U.S. Holding Inc., Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (Alfa
Laval). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of air cooled heat exchangers. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from American StaffCorp (ASC).
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 air cooled heat exchangers by Alfa Laval
Inc. 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 Alfa Laval Inc. have increased during 2015 from 2014 levels.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased aggregate imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at Alfa
Laval.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alfa Laval Inc., a
subsidiary of Alfa Laval AB, Alfa Laval U.S. Holding Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from American StaffCorp (ASC),
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of air cooled heat exchangers, 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 Alfa Laval Inc., a subsidiary of Alfa Laval
AB, Alfa Laval U.S. Holding Inc., including on-site leased
workers from American StaffCorp (ASC), Broken Arrow,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 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."
