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 December 21, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Textron Outdoor Power Equipment, Textron
Specialized Vehicles Division, a subsidiary of Textron
Specialized Vehicles, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower Coatesville, Indiana (TA-W-94,422), and Textron Outdoor
Power Equipment, Textron Specialized Vehicles Division, a
subsidiary of Textron Specialized Vehicles, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Fillmore, Indiana (TA-W-94,422A),
(herein referred to as "Textron"). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of zero-turn, ride on
lawn mowers. The subject worker group includes workers in the
manufacturing facility, at Coatesville, Indiana (TA-W-94,422),
and worker at the warehouse facility in Fillmore, Indiana (TA-W-
94,422A).
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of zero-turn, ride on lawn mowers by Trexton
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the workers of Trexton have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Trexton.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Textron Outdoor Power
Equipment, Textron Specialized Vehicles Division, a subsidiary
of Textron Specialized Vehicles, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower Coatesville, Indiana (TA-W-94,422), and
Textron Outdoor Power Equipment, Textron Specialized Vehicles
Division, a subsidiary of Textron Specialized Vehicles,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Fillmore,
Indiana (TA-W-94,422A), who are engaged in activities related to
the production of zero-turn, ride on lawn mowers 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 Textron Outdoor Power Equipment, Textron
Specialized Vehicles Division, a subsidiary of Textron
Specialized Vehicles, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Coatesville, Indiana (TA-W-94,422), and Textron
Outdoor Power Equipment, Textron Specialized Vehicles
Division, a subsidiary of Textron Specialized Vehicles,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Fillmore,
Indiana (TA-W-94,422A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 20, 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 27th day of February 2019.
