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 27, 2010, applicable to workers of Assembly
& Test Worldwide, Inc., Livonia, Michigan, Saginaw, Michigan,
Lebanon, Missouri and Dayton, Ohio. The workers design,
engineer, manufacture and integrate custom component assembly and
test systems. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on March 5, 2010 (75 FR 10321). The notice was amended on April
6, 2010 to include the Lake Zurich, Illinois and the Shelton,
Connecticut locations of the subject firm. The amended notice
was published in the Federal Register on April 19, 2010 (75 FR
20387).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that as the result of a January 2011 acquisition, the
Livonia, Michigan and Saginaw, Michigan locations of Assembly &
Test Worldwide, Inc. are currently known as ATW Automation, Inc.
Some workers separated from employment at the Livonia
Michigan and Saginaw, Michigan locations of Assembly & Test
Worldwide, Inc. had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account under the name ATW
Automation, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to show that the Livonia, Michigan and Saginaw, Michigan
locations of Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc. are currently known
as ATA Automation, Inc.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
the shift in production of custom component assembly and test
systems to Brazil, China and Germany.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,075 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc.,
currently known as ATW Automation, Inc., Livonia,
Michigan (TA-W-72,075); Assembly & Test Worldwide,
Inc., currently known as ATW Automation, Inc., Saginaw,
Michigan (TA-W-72,075A); Assembly & Test Worldwide,
Inc., Lebanon, Missouri (TA-W-72,075B); Assembly & Test

(TA-W-72,075E), who became totally or partially

through January 27, 2012, 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.”

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 August 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc., Livonia, Michigan
(TA-W-72,075); Saginaw, Michigan (TA-W-72,075A); Lebanon,
Missouri (TA-W-72,075B); and Dayton, Ohio (TA-W-72,075C). The
workers design, engineer, manufacture and integrate custom
component assembly and test systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of Assembly & Test
Worldwide, who are engaged in employment related to custom
component assembly and test systems, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm has
shifted the production of articles like or directly competitive
with the articles produced by the workers to foreign countries.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of custom component assembly and test systems to Brazil, China,
and Germany by Assembly & Test Worldwide contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Livonia, Michigan (TA-W-
72,075), Saginaw, Michigan (TA-W-72,075A), Lebanon, Missouri (TA-
W-72,075B), and Dayton, Ohio (TA-W-72,075C) locations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Assembly & Test
Worldwide, Inc., Livonia, Michigan (TA-W-72,075), Saginaw,
Michigan (TA-W-72,075A), Lebanon, Missouri (TA-W-72,075B), and
Dayton, Ohio (TA-W-72,075C), 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 Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc., Livonia,
Michigan (TA-W-72,075); Assembly & Test Worldwide, Inc.,
Saginaw, Michigan (TA-W-72,075A); Assembly & Test Worldwide,
Inc., Lebanon, Missouri (TA-W-72,075B); and Assembly & Test
Worldwide, Inc., Dayton, Ohio (TA-W-72,075C), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 10, 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.”
