TITAN TIRE CORPORATION OF BRYAN
A SUBSIDIARY OF TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
PER MAR SECURITY SERVICES AND ELWOOD STAFFING
BRYAN, OHIO

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 March 9, 2016 by United Steelworkers (USW), Local 890
on behalf of workers of Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan, a
subsidiary of Titan International, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Per Mar Security Services and Elwood
Staffing, Bryan, Ohio (herein referred to as "Titan Tire
Corporation of Bryan"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of construction and mining
tires.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and 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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country a portion of the
production of an article like or directly competitive with the
article produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Titan Tire
Corporation of Bryan, a subsidiary of Titan International,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Per Mar Security
Services and Elwood Staffing, Bryan, Ohio, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of construction and mining
tires 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 Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan, a
subsidiary of Titan International, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Per Mar Security Services and
Elwood Staffing, Bryan, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 8,
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."
