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 June 25, 2009, on behalf of workers of Teradyne, Inc.,
Semiconductor Test Division, Richardson, Texas (Teradyne, Inc.).
The workers provide on-site automated test equipment servicing.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from CDI Talent
Management.
The investigation revealed that workers of Teradyne, Inc.
who are engaged in employment related to automated test
equipment servicing meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment at the
subject facility declined by at least five percent during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Teradyne,
Inc. provided and sold automated test equipment servicing to a
firm that employed a worker group that is covered by an active
certification to be used in the production of packaged
computer chips.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Teradyne, Inc. with the TAA-certified firm, with respect to
packaged computer chips, contributed importantly to worker
separations at Teradyne, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Teradyne, Inc.,
Semiconductor Test Division, Richardson, Texas, who are engaged
in employment related to automated test equipment servicing
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:



"All workers of Teradyne, Inc., Semiconductor Test
Division, including on-site leased workers from CDI Talent
Management, Richardson, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 23,
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 12th day of February, 2010
