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 October 1, 2010, applicable to workers of
Interstate Electronics Corp., a subsidiary of L-3 Communications,
including on-site leased workers from Bently Global Resources,
Manpower Processional Huntington Beach, Oxford Global Resources,
PDS Technical Service, Superior Technical Resources, Systems
Pros, Total Tech Services, and Triple Crown Consulting, Anaheim,
California. The workers provide engineering and software design
and component assembly services. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 15, 2010 (75 FR 63510).
At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from Ingenium Technology, Inc. were
employed on-site at the Anaheim, California location of
Interstate Electronics Corp., a subsidiary of L-3 Communications.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Interstate Electronics Corp., a
subsidiary of L-3 Communications to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Ingenium Technology,
Inc. working on-site at the Anaheim, California location of
Interstate Electronics Corp., a subsidiary of L-3 Communications.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,592 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Interstate Electronics Corp., a
subsidiary of L-3 Communications, including on-site
leased workers from Bently Global Resources, Manpower
Professional Huntington Beach, Oxford Global Resources,
PDS Technical Service, Superior Technical Resources,
Systems Pros, Total Tech Services, Triple Crown
Consulting, and Ingenium Technology, Inc., Anaheim,
California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 31, 2009, through
October 1, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 5th day of May 2011.

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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production
is related to the article or service that was the basis
for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Downstream Producer” as “a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for another
firm for articles or services with respect to which a group of
workers in such other firm has been certified under subsection (a)
[of Section 222 of the Act]” and defines the term “value-added
production processes or services” to “include final assembly,
finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or transportation
services.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 3, 2010 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Interstate Electronics Corp., a subsidiary of L-3
Communications, Anaheim, California. The subject firm provides
engineering and software design and component assembly services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Bently Global
Resources, Manpower Professional Huntington Beach, Oxford Global
Resources, PDS Technical Service, Superior Technical Resources,
Systems Pros, Total Tech Services, and Triple Crown Consulting.

The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria as suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant percentage of
workers at the subject firm have become totally separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of the subject
firm supplied engineering and software design and component
assembly services to a certified Trade Adjustment Assistance firm
that provided information technology services. The firm was
certified on the basis of shift in service of information
technology services.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
the subject firm with the TAA-certified firm contributed
importantly to the worker separations at subject firm worksite.









Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Interstate Electronics
Corp., a subsidiary of L-3 Communications, Anaheim, California
including on-site leased workers of Bently Global Resources,
Manpower Professional Huntington Beach, Oxford Global Resources,
PDS Technical Service, Superior Technical Resources, Systems
Pros, Total Tech Services, and Triple Crown Consulting, who are
engaged in activities related to engineering and software design
and component assembly services, 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 Interstate Electronics Corp., a subsidiary
of L-3 Communications, Anaheim, California including on-site
leased workers of Bently Global Resources, Manpower
Professional Huntington Beach, Oxford Global Resources, PDS
Technical Service, Superior Technical Resources, Systems
Pros, Total Tech Services, and Triple Crown Consulting, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 31, 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 1st day of October 2010
