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 May 25, 2010, applicable to workers of
Sansata Technologies MA, Incorporated, Power Controls Division,
formerly known as Airpax Corporation, Cambridge, Maryland. The
notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers.
New information shows that worker separations have occurred
involving employees under the control of the Cambridge, Maryland
location of Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated, Power
Controls Division, formerly known as AIRPAX Corporation, working
off-site in Falmouth, Massachusetts (TA-W-73,800A) and
Westfield, Indiana (TA-W-73,800B). These employees provided
sales engineering functions supporting the Cambridge, Maryland
production facility of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of the Cambridge, Maryland
facility of the subject firm working off-site in Falmouth,
Massachusetts and Westfield, Indiana.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in production of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers to
Aguascalientes, Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,800, TA-W-73,800A
and TA-W-73,800B are hereby issued as follows:
“All workers of Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated,
Power Controls Division, formerly known as AIRPAX
Corporation, Cambridge, Maryland (TA-W-73,800), including
employees of Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated, Power
Controls Division, formerly known as AIRPAX Corporation,
Cambridge, Maryland working off-site in Falmouth,

73,800B), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 25, 2010 through May 25, 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. (Set forth in 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 March 29, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated, Power
Controls Division, formerly known as AIRPAX Corporation,
Cambridge, Maryland (Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated).
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm was
previously certified for Trade Adjustment Assistance under
petition (TA-W-62,912) on the basis of a shift in production to
a foreign country. The certification expired on March 24, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sensata
Technologies MA, Incorporated who are engaged in activities
related to the production of hydraulic magnetic circuit
breakers meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers by
Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers by Sensata Technologies
MA, Incorporated to Mexico contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sensata Technologies
MA, Incorporated, Power Controls Division, formerly known as
AIRPAX Corporation, Cambridge, Maryland, who are engaged in
employment related to production of hydraulic magnetic circuit
breakers, 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 Sensata Technologies MA, Incorporated,
Power Controls Division, formerly known as AIRPAX
Corporation, Cambridge, Maryland, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 25,
2010, 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.”
