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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm 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), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 22, 2009 on behalf of the workers of Virage Logic
Corporation, Hampton, New Jersey (Virage Logic Corporation).
Workers at the subject firm are engaged in activities related to
design and engineering services. The workers are not separately
identifiable by function. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Office Team and Patni Computer Systems Ltd.
The investigation revealed that workers of Virage Logic
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Office Team
and Patni Computer Systems Ltd., Hampton, New Jersey who are
engaged in activities related to design and engineering
services meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Virage Logic
Corporation supplied and sold design and engineering services
to firms that employed a worker group who are covered by an
active certification and that the design and engineering
services were related to the production of semiconductor chips
or that the design and engineering services were related to
product development testing services.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Virage Logic Corporation with the TAA-certified firms, with
respect to semiconductor chips or product development testing
services sold to the TAA-certified firms, contributed
importantly to worker separations at Virage Logic Corporation.














Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Virage Logic
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Office Team
and Patni Computer Systems Ltd., Hampton, New Jersey who are
engaged in design and engineering services 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 Virage Logic Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Office Team and Patni Computer
Systems Ltd., Hampton, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 20,
2008 through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the 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 December 2009
