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 November 21, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Gardner Denver, Inc., Industrials Products,
Manteca, California (Gardner Denver-Industrials Products). Workers
of Gardner Denver-Industrials Products are engaged in activities
related to the manufacturing of reciprocating air compressors. The
worker group does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the subject firm's customer(s),
and the United States International Trade Commission.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Gardner Denver-Industrials
Products 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 sales and/or
production of reciprocating air compressors at Gardner Denver-
Industrials Products have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with those
produced by Gardner Denver-Industrials Products 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 the worker group separations
and sales/production declines at Gardner Denver-Industrials
Products.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Gardner Denver-
Industrials Products, who are engaged in activities related to the
manufacturing of reciprocating air compressors, 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 Gardner Denver Inc., Industrials Products,
Manteca, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 18, 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 28th day of March 2017.
