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 December 4, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hunter Technology Corporation, Santa Clara,
California. The workers produce bare printed and assembled
printed circuit boards. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Advanced Technical Resources, Butler
International, Coast Personnel, Nova Management, Personalized
Placements, Randstad US, Richmar Associates, and Trendtec.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hunter
Technology Corporation who are engaged in employment related
to production of bare printed and assembled printed circuit
boards meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
acquisition of bare printed and assembled printed circuit
boards from Taiwan by Hunter Technology Corporation
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Santa Clara, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hunter Technology
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Advanced
Technical Resources, Butler International, Coast Personnel, Nova
Management, Personalized Placements, Randstad US, Richmar
Associates, and Trendtec, Santa Clara, California, who are
engaged in employment related to production of bare printed and
assembled printed circuit boards 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 Hunter Technology Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Advanced Technical Resources,
Butler International, Coast Personnel, Nova Management,
Personalized Placements, Randstad US, Richmar Associates,
and Trendtec, Santa Clara, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December
2, 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 29th day of December, 2009
