In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on September 8, 2017, applicable to workers of Kalmar

The determination was published in the Federal Register on October

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 August 8, 2017 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Kalmar Rough Terrain Center, LLC, a subsidiary of
Cargotec, Cibolo, Texas (Kalmar RTC). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of rough terrain
vehicles and forklifts. The worker group does not include on-
site leased workers.
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 Kalmar RTC 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Kalmar RTC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kalmar RTC, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of rough terrain
vehicles and forklifts, 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 Kalmar Rough Terrain Center, LLC, a
subsidiary of Cargotec, Cibolo, Texas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August
7, 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 8th day of September 2017.
