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 23, 2010, on behalf of workers of Harris
Corporation, Broadcast Communications Division, Chesapeake,
Virginia. The workers are engaged in activities related to the
design and engineering of communications equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Broadcast
Communications Division, Chesapeake, Virginia who are engaged in
activities related to design and engineering, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the design and engineering services supplied
by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
design and engineering services by Harris Corporation
contributed importantly to worker group separations within the
Broadcast Communications Division at the Chesapeake, Virginia
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harris Corporation,
Broadcast Communications Division, Chesapeake, Virginia, who are
engaged in activities related to design and engineering of
communications equipment, 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 Harris Corporation, Broadcast
Communications Division, Chesapeake, Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 18, 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 6th day of October, 2010
