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 services used in
the production of 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 26, 2009 on behalf of workers of Accretech USA,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Seimitsu, Co. Ltd.,
Boise, Idaho. The workers provide installation, repair and
maintenance services for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of Accretech USA,
Inc. who are engaged in employment related to installation,
repair and maintenance services meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers within the workers' firm have been separated from
employment during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Accretech USA, Inc. provided installation, repair and
maintenance services to Micron, Boise, Idaho covered by
certification number TA-W-61,811 issued based on a shift in
production to Singapore of memory chips.
Criterion III has been met because the installation,
repair and maintenance services provided to Micron accounted
for at least 20 percent of the sales of Accretech USA, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Accretech USA, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Seimitsu, Co. Ltd., Boise,
Idaho, who are engaged in employment related to installation,
repair and maintenance 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 Accretech USA, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tokyo Seimitsu, Co. Ltd., Boise, Idaho, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 18, 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 9th day of October, 2009.
