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 January 22, 2010 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Integrated Device Technology, Inc.,
Hillsboro, Oregon. The workers produced semiconductors. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Integrated
Device Technology, Inc., who are engaged in employment related
to production of semiconductors, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of semiconductors contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Integrated Device
Technology, Inc., Hillsboro, Oregon, who are engaged in
employment related to production of semiconductors 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 Integrated Device Technology, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Inc.,
Hillsboro, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 19, 2009,
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 2nd day of June, 2010
