Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on January 28, 2010, applicable to workers of LSI
Corporation, 1110 American Parkway and 555 Union Boulevard,
Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2010 (75 FR 10320).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers at the subject facilities are engaged in design,
development, and marketing for semiconductor and storage systems.
The company reports that workers leased from Spinnaker were
employed on-site at both Allentown, Pennsylvania locations of LSI
Corporation. The Department has determined that these workers
were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Spinnaker working
on-site at the 1110 American Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania and
the 555 Union Boulevard, Allentown, Pennsylvania locations of LSI
Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,961 and TA-W-
70,961A are hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of LSI Corporation, 1110 American Parkway,
including on-site leased workers from Spinnaker,
Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-70,961) and LSI
Corporation, 555 Union Boulevard, including on-site
leased workers from Spinnaker, Allentown, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 29, 2008, through January
28, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of August 2010.

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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 4, 2009, on behalf of workers of LSI Corporation, 110
American Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-70,961) and LSI
Corporation, 555 Union Boulevard, Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
70,961A). Workers at the subject facilities are engaged in design,
development, and marketing for semiconductor and storage systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of LSI Corporation
who are engaged in employment related to design, development, and
marketing for semiconductor and storage systems meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
of workers at LSI Corporation have been separated during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and
production have decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
electronic storage systems produced by LSI Corporation have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports by customers contributed importantly to worker
separations and sales/production declines at LSI Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LSI Corporation, who are
engaged in employment related to design, development, and marketing
for semiconductor and storage systems 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 LSI Corporation, 110 American Parkway,
Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-70,961) and LSI Corporation, 555
Union Boulevard, Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-70,961A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 29, 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.”
