INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

HICKORY, NORTH CAROLINA
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 July 9, 2010, applicable to workers of Amphenol
Antenna Solutions, a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation, formerly
known as Jaybeam Wireless, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower and Accurate Staffing, Hickory, North Carolina. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2010 (75
FR 43559).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production of base station antennas
and mounting kits.
The company reports that workers leased from Administaff,
Inc. were employed on-site at the Hickory, North Carolina
location of Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a subsidiary of Amphenol
Corporation, formerly known as Jaybeam Wireless. 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 Administaff, Inc.
working on-site at the Hickory, North Carolina location of
Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation,
formerly known as Jaybeam Wireless.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,096 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a
subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation, formerly known as
Jaybeam Wireless, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Accurate Staffing and Administaff, Inc.,
Hickory, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August
14, 2008, through July 9, 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 7th day of September 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 August 20, 2009 on behalf of workers at Amphenol Antenna
Solutions, a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation, formally known as
Jaybeam Wireless, Hickory, North Carolina (Amphenol Antenna
Solutions). The workers at the firm are engaged in production of
base station antennas and mounting kits. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower and Accurate Staffing.
The investigation revealed that the worker group meets the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the worker group were separated during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been met because Amphenol Antenna Solutions
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with base station antennas produced by
the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of production
of base station antennas to Mexico contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Amphenol Antenna Solutions, Hickory,
North Carolina.
Conclusion:
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Amphenol Antenna
Solutions, Hickory, North Carolina, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of base station antennas and mounting
kits, 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 Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a subsidiary of
Amphenol Corporation, formally known as Jaybeam Wireless,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower and Accurate
Staffing, Hickory, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 14,
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.”
