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 April 21, 2016 by an Other Authorized Representative on
behalf of workers of Caterpillar Track Components, Industrial
Solutions, Components and Distribution (ISCD) Division, a
subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., Danville, Kentucky (Caterpillar
Track Components). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of heavy duty machinery. The workers are
not separately identifiable by articles produced by the firm. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Nesco
Resource, Advanced Technology Services, Lubrizol Corporation,
Viva USA Inc. and Ephraim McDowell Health.
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 a(n) article
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Caterpillar Track Components.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Caterpillar Track
Components, ISCD Division, Danville, Kentucky, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of heavy duty equipment
components, 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 Track Components, Industrial
Solutions, Components and Distribution (ISCD) Division, a
subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Nesco Resource, Advanced Technology Services,
Lubrizol Corporation, Viva USA Inc., and Ephraim McDowell
Health, Danville, Kentucky, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 15, 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 13th day of May 2016.
