A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF KOCH INDUSTRIES, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
SWIFT TECHNICAL GROUP LLC AND MUNDY COMPANY
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE

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 October 12, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
INVISTA S.a.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Swift Technical
Group LLC and Mundy Company, Chattanooga, Tennessee (herein
known as "INVISTA S.a.r.l.").
The subject workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of nylon salt and nylon pellets used in the
manufacture of nylon fiber and nylon molded parts. Specifically,
the subject worker group is engaged in activities related to the
production of nylon salt and nylon pellets.
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 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 INVISTA S.a.r.l.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of INVISTA S.a.r.l., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Swift Technical Group LLC and Mundy
Company, Chattanooga, Tennessee, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of nylon salt and nylon pellets 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 INVISTA S.a.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Koch Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Swift Technical Group LLC and Mundy Company,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 10, 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 27th day of October, 2016.
