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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 31, 2010 on behalf of workers of Endicott
Interconnect Technologies, Inc., Detection & Imaging Systems,
Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. The workers produced x-ray and gamma-
ray detectors to be incorporated into scanners and imaging
systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of Endicott
Interconnect Technologies, Inc., who are engaged in employment
related to production of x-ray and gamma-ray detectors, meet
the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of x-ray and gamma-ray detectors by Endicott
Interconnect Technologies, Inc. have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with x-ray and gamma-ray
detectors produced by Endicott Interconnect Technologies, Inc.
have increased.
Finally, Section 222(2)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Endicott
Interconnect Technologies, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Endicott Interconnect
Technologies, Inc., Detection & Imaging Systems, Saxonburg,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment related to
production of x-ray and gamma-ray detectors, 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 Endicott Interconnect Technologies, Inc.,
Detection & Imaging Systems, Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 26, 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."
