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 June 9, 2010 on behalf of workers of Intel
Corporation, Corporate Services, D2 Operations, Santa Clara,
California (Intel). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of semiconductor chips.
The investigation revealed that workers of Intel who are
engaged in activities related to the production of
semiconductor chips meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers have been totally or partially
separated or threatened with separation.
The worker group is under an existing certification that
expires on July 7, 2010.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to Israel the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the semiconductor chips provided by
the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of semiconductor chips to Israel by Intel has
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
subject firm.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Intel Corporation,
Corporate Services, D2 Operations, Santa Clara, California,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
semiconductor chips 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 Intel Corporation, Corporate Services, D2
Operations, Santa Clara, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 8,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 17th day of June, 2010
