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 August 2, 2010 on behalf of workers of LSI CORPORATION,
Integrated Circuit Testing Department, Fort Collins, Colorado.
The workers are engaged in the testing of integrated circuits
and are separately identifiable from other workers at LSI
CORP., Fort Collins, Colorado by the service supplied.
The investigation revealed that workers of LSI CORPORATION,
Integrated Circuit Testing Department, Fort Collins, Colorado,
who are engaged in employment related to the testing of
integrated circuits, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers of LSI CORPORATION, Integrated Circuit
Testing Department, Fort Collins, Colorado has been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because LSI CORPORATION has
shifted the testing of integrated circuits to foreign
countries.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
integrated circuit testing to South Korea and Taiwan
contributed importantly to worker group separations at LSI
CORP, Integrated Circuit Testing Department, Fort Collins,
Colorado.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LSI CORPORATION,
Integrated Circuit Testing Department, Fort Collins, Colorado,
who are engaged in employment related to the testing of
integrated circuits, 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 LSI CORPORATION Integrated Circuit Testing
Department, Fort Collins, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 22,
2009, 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 2nd day of September, 2010
