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 July 7, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by a State agency representative on behalf of
workers of Entorian Technologies L.P., a subsidiary of Entorian
Technologies, LLC, Irvine, California. The workers produce dual
inline memory modules.
Some of the worker's wages at the subject firm were reported
under a different corporate name, Southland Micro Systems. The
worker group includes on-site workers leased from VOLT, KIMCO
Staffing, and Professional Staffing.
The investigation revealed that the decline in the employment
at the subject facility is related to a shift in production of dual
inline memory modules to a country (Mexico) that is party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
In addition, 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of Entorian Technologies L.P., a subsidiary of
Entorian Technologies, LLC, including workers whose wages were
reported under Southland Micro Systems, and including on-site
leased workers from VOLT, KIMCO Staffing, and Professional
Staffing, Irvine, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 2, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this4th day of August 2008
