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 May 10, 2016 on behalf of workers of Borets U.S.,
Inc., a subsidiary of Borets International Ltd., Tulsa,
Oklahoma. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of motors, seals and sub-components for
electronic submersible pumping systems and horizontal pumping
systems. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Accounting Principals and Robert Half.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Borets U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of Borets
International Ltd., Tulsa, Oklahoma.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Borets U.S., Inc., a
subsidiary of Borets International Ltd., including on-site
leased workers from Accounting Principals and Robert Half,
Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of motors, seals and sub-components for electronic
submersible pumping systems and horizontal pumping 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 Borets U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of Borets
International Ltd., including on-site leased workers from
Accounting Principals and Robert Half, Tulsa, Oklahoma,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 29, 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 7th day of June 2016.
