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 November 3, 2016 by the United Auto Workers, Local,
171, on behalf of workers of Mack Trucks, Inc., Powertrain
Division, a subsidiary of AB Volvo, Hagerstown, Maryland (Mack
Trucks-Powertrain). Mack Trucks-Powertrain is engaged in
activities related to the production of heavy duty diesel
engines, transmissions, axles, and machined gears and shafts
for manual transmissions, and machined camshaft and crankshaft
for diesel engines. The petition is postmarked October 7, 2016.
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 Mack Trucks-Powertrain
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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Mack Trucks-Powertrain.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mack Trucks, Inc.,
Powertrain Division, Hagerstown, Maryland, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of heavy duty diesel
engines, transmissions, axles, and machined gears and shafts
for manual transmissions, and machined camshaft and crankshaft
for diesel engines, 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 Mack Trucks, Inc., Powertrain Division, a
subsidiary of AB Volvo, Hagerstown, Maryland, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 7, 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 1th day of December 2017.
