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 February 11, 2011, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sensormatic Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Tyco
International, Boca Raton, Florida. The workers provide
electronics repair services. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Roth Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sensormatic
Electronics, LLC, who are engaged in employment related to
electronics repair services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated or threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with electronics repair services.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from a foreign country by Sensormatic Electronics,
LLC contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Boca Raton, Florida facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sensormatic
Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Tyco International, Boca
Raton, Florida, who are engaged in employment related to
electronics repair 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 Sensormatic Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary
of Tyco International, including on-site leased workers
from Roth Staffing, Boca Raton, Florida, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 10, 2010, 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 28th day of February, 2011
