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 February 1, 2018 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Cherrington Enterprises Inc., Clarissa,
Minnesota (TA-W-93,507) and Cherrington Enterprises Inc.,
Jamestown, North Dakota (TA-W-93,507A) (hereafter collectively
referred to as "Cherrington"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of mobile screening and
beach cleaning equipment and parts. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers (at either location).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Cherrington 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 produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cherrington.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cherrington, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of mobile
screening and beach cleaning equipment and parts, 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 Cherrington Enterprises Inc., Clarissa,
Minnesota (TA-W-93,507) and Cherrington Enterprises Inc.,
Jamestown, North Dakota (TA-W-93,507A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
31, 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 1th day of March 2018.
