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 June 29, 2017 by the International Association of
Machinists & Aerospace Workers, District Lodge 947, on behalf
of workers of Integrated Energy Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Doncasters, Inc., Chula Vista, California
(hereafter known as "Integrated Energy Technologies, Inc." or
"workers' firm"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of new and replacement components for
land based gas turbine engines. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Express Employment.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 Integrated Energy Technology, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Integrated Energy
Technologies, Inc., Chula Vista, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of new and replacement
components for land based gas turbine 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 Integrated Energy Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Doncasters, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Express Employment, Chula Vista, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 28, 2016 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 10th day of August 2017.
