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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production
is related to the article or service that was the basis
for such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers' separation or threat of separation.


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 21, 2016 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Mega Power Inc., Hickory, Kentucky. The subject firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of repair and maintenance
services for commercial and industrial machinery and equipment.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in the subject firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because the subject firm is a
Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the actual finished
article or service that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the subject firm's
loss of business with the aforementioned firm contributed
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the subject firm who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of repair and
maintenance services meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Mega Power Inc., Hickory, Kentucky, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 20, 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 3rd day of August 2017.
