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 February 3, 2016 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Hydralift AmClyde, Inc., Rig Systems
Offshore/Lifting and Handling Division, St. Paul, Minnesota
(hereafter referred to as "Hydralift Amclyde"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of heavy
lift cranes, shipyard and stevedoring cranes, custom marine
and land based cranes, winches, and mooring systems. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Randstad and Entegee. Workers are not separately identifiable by
article.
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 articles by Hydralift AmClyde have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Hydralift AmClyde have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Hydralift AmClyde.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hydralift AmClyde,
Inc., Rig Systems Offshore/Lifting and Handling Division,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad and Entegee, St.
Paul, Minnesota, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of heavy lift cranes, shipyard and stevedoring
cranes, custom marine and land based cranes, winches, and
mooring systems, 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 Hydralift AmClyde, Inc., Rig Systems
Offshore/Lifting and Handling Division, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad and Entegee, St. Paul,
Minnesota, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 2, 2015 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 15th day of September 2016.
