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 January 17, 2018 by a state workforce agent on behalf of workers
of Parker Hannifin Corporation, Parker Filtration Group Engine
Mobile Aftermarket Division, including on-site leased workers from
Advanced Services and Elite Staffing, Gothenburg, Nebraska (Parker
Filtration Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division). Workers of
Parker Filtration Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division are
engaged in activities related to the production of medium and heavy
duty filters. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Advanced Services and Elite Staffing.
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 Parker Filtration Group Engine Mobile
Aftermarket Division 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 the sales and/or
production by Parker Filtration Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket
Division have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company imports
of articles like or directly competitive with the filters produced
by Parker Filtration Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division have
increased during the relevant period when compared to the
representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Parker Filtration
Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Parker Filtration Group
Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of medium and heavy duty filters, 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 Parker Hannifin Corporation, Parker Filtration
Group Engine Mobile Aftermarket Division, including on-site
leased workers from Advanced Services and Elite Staffing,
Gothenburg, Nebraska, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 16, 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 28th day of February 2018.
