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 September 17, 2009, applicable to workers of Actel
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from ATR
International, Accountants, Inc., and Accountant Temps, Mountain
View, California. The notice was published in the Federal
Register November 5, 2009 (74 FR 57338).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of field programmable arrays.
New information shows that on November 2, 2010, Actel
Corporation was purchased by Microsemi Corporation and is
currently known as Microsemi Corporation. Workers separated from
employment at Actel Corporation had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account under the name
Microsemi Corporation.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the Actel Corporation, currently known as
Microsemi Corporation, who were adversely affected by a shift in
the production of field programmable arrays to China.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,806 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Actel Corporation, currently known as
Microsemi Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from ATE International, Accountants, Inc., and
Accountant Temps, Mountain View, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 23, 2008 through September 17, 2011, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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 10th day of November 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 24, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Actel Corporation, Mountain View, California (Actel). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
field programmable arrays and are not separately identifiable by
article produced. The worker group also includes on-site leased
workers from ATR International, Accountants Inc., and Accountant
Temps.
The investigation revealed that workers of Actel who are
engaged in employment related to production of field programmable
arrays meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted to a foreign county the production of an article like or
directly competitive with those produced by the workers’ firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of field programmable arrays to China by Actel contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Mountain View,
California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Actel Corporation,
Mountain View, California, including on-site leased workers from
ATR International, Accountants Inc., and Accountant Temps, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of field
programmable arrays 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 Actel Corporation, Mountain View,
California, including on-site leased workers from ATR
International, Accountants Inc., and Accountant Temps who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 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 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 17th day of September, 2009.
