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 May 16, 2016 on behalf of workers of Trinity Tank Car,
Inc., Plant #1019, Plant #1017/1110, and Plant #1194/1200, a
subsidiary of Trinity Rail Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity
Industries, Inc., including workers whose wages are reported
under Trinity Industries, Inc., and including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Longview, Texas (TA-W-91,812), Trinity
North American Freight Car, Inc., a subsidiary of Trinity Rail
Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., including
workers whose wages are reported under Trinity Industries, Inc.,
Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A), and Trinity Tank Car,
Inc., a subsidiary of Trinity Rail Group, LLC, a subsidiary of
Trinity Industries, Inc., including workers whose wages are
reported under Trinity Industries, Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(TA-W-91,812B). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of railroad cars (tank cars and auto-
rack cars). The worker group covered by TA-W-91,812 includes
workers at buildings operating in conjunction with Plants
#1019, #1017/1110, and #1194/1200, including but not limited
to those located at 1111 W. Harrison Road and 800 Fisher Road,
Longview, Texas. There are no on-site leased workers at the
Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A) and Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma (TA-W-91,812B) facilities.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and report articles.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at the Longview, Texas (TA-
W-91,812), Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A) and Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-92,812B) facilities of the 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 at the Longview, Texas (TA-W-91,812),
Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A) and Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma (TA-W-92,812B) facilities of the workers' firm have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the railroad cars
produced by the workers' firm have increased during the
relevant period when compared to the representative base
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
imports contributed importantly to worker group separations
and sales/production declines at the Longview, Texas (TA-W-
91,812), Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A) and Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-92,812B) facilities of the workers' firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Longview, Texas
(TA-W-91,812), Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A) and Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (TA-W-92,812B) facilities of the workers' firm,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
railroad cars, 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 Trinity Tank Car, Inc., Plant #1019, Plant
#1017/1110, and Plant #1194/1200, a subsidiary of Trinity
Rail Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc.,
including workers whose wages are reported under Trinity
Industries, Inc., and including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Longview, Texas (TA-W-91,812), Trinity North
American Freight Car, Inc., a subsidiary of Trinity Rail
Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc.,
including workers whose wages are reported under Trinity
Industries, Inc., Cartersville, Georgia (TA-W-91,812A), and
Trinity Tank Car, Inc., a subsidiary of Trinity Rail Group,
LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., including
workers whose wages are reported under Trinity Industries,
Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (TA-W-91,812B), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 13, 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 17th day of March 2017.
