Amended 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 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on September 2, 2011,

subsidiary of Radisys Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Qualstaff Resources, San Diego, California. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
PCP boards, telecommunication systems and medical systems. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 19,
2011 (76 FR 58046).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that worker separations have occurred involving
employees of the subject firm who telework from off-site
locations in Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Texas. These
employees provided various activities supporting production of
PCP boards, telecommunication systems and medical systems.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of the firm who telework and
report to the San Diego, California facility of Continuous
Computing, Inc. (CCPU), a subsidiary of Radisys Corporation.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by
actual/likely increase in imports following a shift abroad.

and TA-W-80,304B are hereby issued as follows:

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 July 21, 2011, by a company official on behalf of workers
of RadiSys Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Employment Trends, Northwest Software Inc., Oxford Global
Resources and Resources Global Professionals, Hillsboro, Oregon
and Continuous Computing, Inc. (CCPU), a subsidiary of RadiSys
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from QualStaff
Resources, San Diego, California. The workers’ firm is engaged
activities related to the production of PCP boards,
telecommunication systems and medical systems.
Workers of RadiSys Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Employment Trends, Hillsboro, Oregon were covered by
certification number TA-W-71,004 that expired on August 14, 2011.
The certification did not cover on-site leased workers from
Northwest Software Inc., Oxford Global Resources and Resources
Global Professionals.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
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 articles like or
directly competitive to PCP boards, telecommunication systems and
medical systems to a foreign country and there has been or is
likely to be an increase in imports of such articles.
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 RadiSys Corporation,
Hillsboro, Oregon and Continuous Computing, Inc. (CCPU), a
subsidiary of RadiSys Corporation, San Diego, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of PCP boards,
telecommunication systems and medical systems 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 RadiSys Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Employment Trends, Hillsboro, Oregon
(TA-W-80,304) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 15, 2011, 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,
AND
All leased workers from Northwest Software Inc., Oxford Global
Resources and Resources Global Professionals, working on-site

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,



AND
All workers of Continuous Computing, Inc. (CCPU), a
