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 September 11, 2017, by a state workforce office on
behalf of the workers of Flowserve Corporation, Finance
Division, 1480 Valley Center Parkway, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-93,127) and Flowserve Corporation, Finance Division, 567
Rocky Glen Road, Moosic, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,127A)
("Flowserve") are the subject of this investigation. It was
determined by the petitioner during the investigation that the
worker group would be pared down to workers located within the
aforementioned locations.
The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of finance services.
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 Flowserve 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 supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations in
Flowserve.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Flowserve Corporation,
Finance Division, 1480 Valley Center Parkway, Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,127) and Flowserve Corporation, Finance
Division, 567 Rocky Glen Road, Moosic, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
93,127A), who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
finance services, 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 Flowserve Corporation, Finance Division, 1480
Valley Center Parkway, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,127)
and Flowserve Corporation, Finance Division, 567 Rocky Glen
Road, Moosic, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,127A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after September
8, 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 24th day of November 2017.
