Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2013 / Notices
that UAW–578 represents and that
‘‘Oshkosh Defense’’ is the only entity
related to Oshkosh Corporation that
employs members of UAW–578.
Further, the reconsideration
investigation revealed that the ‘‘access
equipment’’ and ‘‘fire and emergency’’
unit have not in the past or present been
located in the Oshkosh, Wisconsin area,
and that these articles are produced in
other parts of the country.
The reconsideration investigation
further revealed that the subject firm has
not imported any articles or services
like or directly competitive with the
production of, and administrative
functions in support of military,
logistical, and tactical vehicles, and
diverse products for airport products
and commercial group (i.e., H-Broom,
H-Blower, H-Tractor, P-series Snow
Removal Vehicle, S-Series Front
Discharge Cement Mixers and AARF
axles) produced or performed by the
workers of the subject firm.
The reconsideration investigation also
revealed that the subject firm does not
import any finished products that
incorporate an article or services like or
directly competitive with the articles
produced or services supplied by the
subject firm. Because almost all of the
products manufactured by Oshkosh
Defense are supplied to the United
States military, no customer survey of
imports was conducted.
In addition, the reconsideration
investigation revealed that the subject
firm did not shift production or services
like or directly competitive with the
administrative services and military,
logistical, and tactical vehicles, and
diverse products for airport products
and commercial group (i.e., H-Broom,
H-Blower, H-Tractor, P-Series Snow
Removal Vehicle, S-Series Front
Discharge Cement Mixers and AARF
axles) produced or supplied by the
workers of the subject firm, and did not
acquire articles or services like or
directly competitive with the
administrative services and military,
logistical, and tactical vehicles, and
diverse products for airport products
and commercial group (i.e., H-Broom,
H-Blower, H-Tractor, P-Series Snow
Removal Vehicle, S-Series Front
Discharge Cement Mixers and AARF
axles) from a foreign country.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the subject firm addressed
a newspaper article submitted by the
petitioner which stated, in part, that
Oshkosh Corporation was ‘‘bringing
work back to the factory that was
outsourced—a move that saved 165
production jobs.’’ Specifically, the
subject firm confirmed that when
production needs extended capacity, the

work was ‘‘outsourced’’ to local
(domestic) vendors.
The Department notes that the forementioned article started with the
statement ‘‘Faced with deep cuts in U.S.
military spending, and the end of the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Oshkosh
Corp. is laying off 900 employees in its
defense division’’ and stated that the
‘‘Department of Defense is reining in
spending.’’ The article also states that
the subject firm has facilities in other
states that are able to produce similar or
directly competitive articles.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the subject firm also
addressed the petitioner’s allegation that
Oshkosh Corporation imports specific
parts (i.e., ‘‘exhibit f’’). The subject firm
confirmed that the parts at issue have
never been manufactured by an
Oshkosh Defense facility and have
always been procured from a foreign
country. The subject firm also
confirmed that the imported parts are in
articles that constitute a negligible
percentage of Oshkosh Corporation
production.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of
the Act, the reconsideration
investigation confirmed that Oshkosh
Defense is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm (or
subdivision, whichever is applicable)
that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. 2272(a).
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
the requirements of Section 222 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met
and, therefore, affirm the denial of the
petition for group eligibility of Oshkosh
Defense, a division of Oshkosh
Corporation, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to
apply for adjustment assistance, in
accordance with Section 223 of the Act,
19 U.S.C. 2273.
Signed in Washington, DC on this 26th day
of July, 2013.
