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 July 29, 2009 on behalf of workers of Systems
Integrators LLC, Glendale, Arizona (Systems Integrators). The
workers are engaged in activities related the production of
printed circuit boards, ground power equipment, electro-
mechanical assemblies, and power supplies used in airplanes.
The workers are not separately identifiable by products
produced. The worker group also includes on-site leased
workers from Volt Technical.
The investigation revealed that workers of Systems
Integrators who are engaged in employment related to printed
circuit boards, ground power equipment, electro-mechanical
assemblies, and power supplies used in airplanes meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Systems
Integrators reworked and added components to printed circuit
boards to a firm that employed a worker group who is covered
by an active certification and the reworked and added
components to printed circuit boards was related to the
article that was the basis of the firm's certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Systems Integrators with the TAA-certified firm contributed
importantly to the worker separations at Systems Integrators.













Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Systems Integrators
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Volt Technical,
Glendale, Arizona, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of circuit boards, ground power equipment, electro-
mechanical assemblies, and power supplies used in airplanes
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 Systems Integrators LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Volt Technical, Glendale, Arizona, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 28, 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 4th day of February, 2010.
