AMERICAN DYNAMICS
SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS
A SUBSIDIARY OF TYCO INTERNATIONAL
ACCESS CONTROL AND VIDEO SYSTEMS DIVISION
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on July 14, 2008,
applicable to workers of American Dynamics, Access Control and
Video Systems Division, Subsidiary of Sensormatic Electronics,
San Diego, California. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 30, 2008 (73 FR 44284).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce computer software coding for digital video management
systems.
The State reports that some of the workers wages are
reported to the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account under the
parent company’s name, Tyco International. Further review of the
file shows that the name of the firm was not correctly
identified. American Dynamics is not a subsidiary of Sensormatic
Electronics. The legal name for American Dynamics is Sensormatic
Electronics which is a subsidiary of Tyco International.
Based on the findings above the Department is amending the
certification to correctly identify the name of the subject firm
and include those workers whose UI wages are reported under Tyco
International.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,520 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of American Dynamics, Sensormatic Electronics,
a subsidiary of Tyco International, Access Control and Video
Systems Division, San Diego, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 6,
2007 through July 14, 2010, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.”

SUBSIDIARY OF SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 11, 2008 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of American Dynamics,
Access Control and Video Systems Division, Subsidiary of
Sensormatic Electronics, San Diego, California. The workers
produce computer software coding for digital video management
systems.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined in 2007 as compared to 2006, and also declined
during the period of January through June 2008 over the
corresponding 2007 period.
The subject firm shifted production of computer software
coding to the United Kingdom. It is likely that, following this
shift abroad, the company will increase imports of computer
software coding.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to the United Kingdom of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely
to be an increase in imports of like or directly competitive
articles. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of American Dynamics, Access Control and Video
Systems Division, Subsidiary of Sensormatic Electronics, San
Diego, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 6, 2007 through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
