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 June 17, 2010, applicable to workers of Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc., Networking and Multimedia Group (“NMG”),
excluding the Multimedia Applications Division, including on-site
workers of Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions Engineering
Company, Netpolarity, Inc. and Tac Worldwide, Austin, Texas. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2010 (75
FR 38141).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in internal design and engineering services for chips
used in networking and multimedia products.
The company reports that workers leased from Manpower, were
employed on-site at the Austin, Texas location of Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc., Networking and Multimedia Group (“NMG”),
excluding the Multimedia Applications Division, including on-site
workers of Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions Engineering
Company, Netpolarity, Inc. and Tac Worldwide. 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 Manpower, working
on-site at the Austin, Texas location of Freescale Semiconductor,
Inc., Networking and Multimedia Group (“NMG”), excluding the
Multimedia Applications Division, including on-site workers of
Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions Engineering Company,
Netpolarity, Inc. and Tac Worldwide.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,551A is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.,
Networking and Multimedia Group (“NMG”), excluding the
Multimedia Applications Division, including on-site
workers of Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions
Engineering Company, Netpolarity, Inc., Tac Worldwide
and Manpower, Austin, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
2008 through June 17, 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 3rd 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:
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 July 6, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Freescale Semiconductor, Multimedia Applications Division,
Austin, Texas. The workers were engaged in employment related to
the internal supply of development services for multimedia
applications.
The investigation revealed that workers of Freescale
Semiconductor, Multimedia Applications Division, Austin, Texas
who were engaged in employment related to the supply of internal
development services for multimedia applications meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers have been partially or fully separated.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied at the Austin,
Texas facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in services to
Hong Kong, China, Mexico and Brazil by Freescale Semiconductor,
Multimedia Applications Division contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Austin, Texas location.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Freescale
Semiconductor, Multimedia Applications Division, Austin, Texas
who are engaged in employment related to the supply of internal
development services for multimedia applications 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 Freescale Semiconductor, Multimedia
Applications Division, Austin, Texas who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1, 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.”

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 July 6, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Freescale Semiconductor, Networking and Multimedia Group (“NMG”),
Austin, Texas. The workers are engaged in employment related to
the internal supply of engineering and development services for
networking and multimedia products. The worker group does not
include workers of the Multimedia Applications Division (“MAD”)
who were certified on April 2, 2010 based on a shift in services
(TA-W-71,551). The worker group for this case (TA-W-71,551A)
includes on-site leased workers of Synergy Services, Craftcorp,
Directions Engineering Company, Netpolarity, Inc. and TAC
Worldwide.
The investigation revealed that workers of Freescale
Semiconductor, Networking and Multimedia Group, excluding workers
of the Multimedia Applications Division, Austin, Texas who were
engaged in employment related to the supply of internal
development and engineering services for networking and
multimedia products meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers have been partially or fully separated.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied at the Austin,
Texas facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in services to
China, India, Romania and Mexico by Freescale Semiconductor,
Networking and Multimedia Group contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Austin, Texas location.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Freescale
Semiconductor, Networking and Multimedia Group, excluding workers
of the Multimedia Applications Division, including on-site leased
workers of Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions Engineering
Company, Netpolarity, Inc. and TAC Worldwide, Austin, Texas who
are engaged in employment related to the supply of internal
engineering and development services for networking and
multimedia products 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 Freescale Semiconductor, Networking and
Multimedia Group, excluding workers of the Multimedia
Applications Division, including on-site leased workers of
Synergy Services, Craftcorp, Directions Engineering Company,
Netpolarity, Inc. and TAC Worldwide, Austin, Texas who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 1, 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.”
