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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Dallas, Texas (Maxim). The
workers produce integrated circuits.
The investigation revealed that workers of Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc., who are engaged in employment related to the
production of integrated circuits meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers were separated within the last year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
is shifting production of integrated circuits to affiliates in
Japan, the Philippines and Thailand.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of integrated circuits to Japan, the Philippines
and Thailand by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., contributed
importantly to worker group separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc., Dallas, Texas, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of integrated circuits meet the
worker group 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 Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Dallas,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 19, 2008, through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on 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 8th day of July, 2009
