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 June 5, 2020 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Donaldson Company Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Humera-Human Resources Recruiter
and Diversified Service Network, Frankfort, Indiana
(Donaldson-Frankfort). Workers of Donaldson-Frankfort are
engaged in activities related to the production of engine air
filtrators.

The petition alleges that a shift of production to a
foreign country contributed to worker separations.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Donaldson-Frankfort 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 engine air
filtrators produced by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Donaldson-
Frankfort.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Donaldson-Frankfort,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
engine air filtrators, 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 Donaldson Company Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Humera-Human Resources Recruiter and
Diversified Service Network, Frankfort, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 4, 2019, 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 7th day of February, 2021
