Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm, or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm, have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with articles which are or were
produced by such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 22, 2011 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Kavlico Corporation, a subsidiary of Custom
Sensors and Technologies (CST), a subsidiary of Schneider
Electric, Moorpark, California. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Select Temporary Agency and Triad
Agency. The workers' firm is engaged activities related to the
production of pressure sensors for the industrial and
automotive markets.
Workers of Kavlico Corporation, a subsidiary of Custom
Sensors and Technologies (CST), a subsidiary of Schneider
Electric, including on-site leased workers from Select
Temporary Agency and Triad Agency, Moorpark, California were
covered under certification number TA-W-63,345 that expired on
August 25, 2010.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and official government sources
of data.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the employment
decline is related to the shift in production of pressure
sensors for the industrial and automotive markets to a foreign
country that is party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kavlico Corporation,
a subsidiary of Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST), a
subsidiary of Schneider Electric, including on-site leased
workers from Select Temporary Agency and Triad Agency,
Moorpark, California, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of pressure sensors for the industrial and
automotive markets, 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 Kavlico Corporation, a subsidiary of
Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST), a subsidiary of
Schneider Electric, including on-site leased workers from
Select Temporary Agency and Triad Agency, Moorpark,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 26, 2010, 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, and are also eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of August, 2011
