INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM KELLY SERVICES, AEROTEK,
AND AN ON-SITE LEASED WORKER FROM ORBOTECH, INC.
REDMOND, WASHINGTON
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 January 23, 2008,
applicable to workers of TTM Technologies, Redmond, Washington.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 25,
2009 (74 FR 12901).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of printed circuit boards.
New information shows that a worker leased from Orbotech,
Inc. was employed on-site at TTM Technologies, Redmond,
Washington. The Department has determined that this worker was
sufficiently under the control of TTM Technologies, Redmond,
Washington to be considered a leased worker.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include a worker leased from Orbotech, Inc.,
working on-site at the Redmond, Washington location of the TTM
Technologies.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,993 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers TTM Technologies, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services and Aerotek, and including an
on-site leased worker from Orbotech, Inc., Redmond,
Washington, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 23, 2008 through
March 11, 2011, 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.”

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), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 26, 2009 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of TTM Technologies, Redmond, Washington. The workers
produce printed circuit boards.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services and Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a sample survey of the
subject firm’s major declining customers regarding their purchases
of printed circuit boards in 2007, 2008, and January through
February 2009 over the corresponding 2008 period. The survey
revealed increased import purchases during the relevant period.
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 do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with printed circuit boards produced
by TTM Technologies, Redmond, Washington contributed importantly to
the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in
sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of TTM Technologies, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services and Aerotek, Redmond, Washington,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after January 23, 2008 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.”
