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 March 29, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Caterpillar Emissions Solution, Large Power Systems
Division, a subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc., Santa Fe, New
Mexico (Caterpillar Emissions Solution). The subject workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of emissions
control equipment for large diesel and natural engines.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers of Caterpillar Emissions
Solution have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of emissions control equipment for large
diesel and natural engines by Caterpillar Emissions Solution
have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because firm
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Caterpillar Emissions Solution have
increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Caterpillar
Emissions Solution.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Caterpillar Emissions
Solution, Large Power Systems Division, a subsidiary of
Caterpillar, Inc., Santa Fe, New Mexico, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of emissions control
equipment for large diesel and natural engines, 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 Caterpillar Emissions Solution, Large Power
Systems Division, a subsidiary of Caterpillar, Inc., Santa
Fe, New Mexico, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 28, 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 9th day of September 2016.
