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(a), 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 November 30, 2009 by three workers on behalf of
workers of Marvell Semiconductor, Inc., Printer Group, Boise,
Idaho. The workers were engaged in employment related to the
supply of engineering design and testing services for computer
laser printers. The worker group also includes on-site leased
workers of Icon Professional Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Marvell
Semiconductor, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to
the supply of engineering design and testing services for
computer laser printers meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. provided engineering design and
testing services for computer laser printers to a firm that
employed a worker group that is covered by an active
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the services supplied
by Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. for a firm that employed a
worker group covered by an active certification accounted for
at least 20 percent of the sales decline of Marvell
Semiconductor, Inc., Printer Group, Boise, Idaho.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Marvell
Semiconductor, Inc., Printer Group, including on-site leased
workers of Icon Professional Services, Boise, Idaho who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of engineering
design and testing services for computer laser printers, 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 Marvell Semiconductor, Inc., Printer
Group, including on-site leased workers of Icon
Professional Services, Boise, Idaho who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
25, 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 22nd day of January, 2010
