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 July 15, 2020 on behalf of workers and former workers
of Paccar Winch, Inc., a subsidiary of Paccar, Inc., Broken
Arrow, Oklahoma (Paccar Winch). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of hydraulic winches and
hoists used in heavy machinery. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Adecco Staffing.
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 at Paccar Winch 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 at Paccar Winch have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the hydraulic
winches and hoists produced by Paccar Winch 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 Paccar Winch.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Paccar Winch, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of hydraulic
winches and hoists, meet the group eligibility 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 Paccar Winch, Inc., a subsidiary of
Paccar, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Adecco Staffing, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 14, 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 5th day of August 2020.
