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 January 18, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Siemens Government Technologies, Inc., D/B/A
Dresser Rand, Wellsville, New York (herein known as "Siemens
Government Technologies, Inc." or "workers' firm"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of steam turbines specifically single stage turbines (SST) and
components of turbines primarily for the oil and gas market,
and other products supplied to the U.S. government. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Superior Workforce Solutions, Inc.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-85,987. The
certification expires on June 4, 2017.
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 Siemens Government Technologies, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Siemens Government
Technologies, Inc., D/B/A Dresser Rand, including on-site
leased workers from Superior Workforce Solutions, Inc.,
Wellsville, New York, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of steam turbines specifically single stage
turbines (SST) and components of turbines primarily for the
oil and gas market, and other products supplied to the U.S.
government 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 Siemens Government Technologies, Inc.,
D/B/A Dresser Rand, including on-site leased workers from
Superior Workforce Solutions, Inc., Wellsville, New York,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 5, 2017 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 2nd day of March 2017.
