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 December 2, 2011, applicable to workers
of CalAmp Products, Inc., Satellite Products Division, including
on-site leased workers from Select Staffing, Oxnard, California
(TA-W-80,399). The workers are engaged in the production of
converter/amplifiers for satellite television. The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2011
(76 FR 77556).
At the request of the State of Minnesota, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers and former workers of
CalAmp Products, Inc., Satellite Products Division, Oxnard,
California.
New information shows that, following a corporate merger in
March 2012, the correct legal name of the subject firm located in
Waseca, Minnesota and Oxnard, California should read CalAmp
Wireless Networks Corporation (CWNC), and that the manufacturing
of wireless networking products was transferred from the Waseca,
Minnesota location of the subject firm to Oxnard, California in
order to better utilize plant capacity at the Oxnard, California
facility that was available following the shift of production
from the Oxnard, California facility to a foreign country. The
Waseca, Minnesota location is currently being shut down.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
correctly identify the name of the subject firm in its entirety
and to include the Waseca, Minnesota location of the subject firm
and leased workers from Spherion Staffing working on-site at the
Waseca, Minnesota facility.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,399 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation
(CWNC), Satellite Products Division, including on-site
leased workers from Select Staffing, Oxnard, California
(TA-W-80,399) and CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation
(CWNC), including on-site leased workers from Spherion
Staffing, Waseca Minnesota (TA-W-80,399A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 18, 2010 through December 2, 2013, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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 1074, as
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 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 have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers’
separation or threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 30, 2011 on behalf of workers of CalAmp Products,
Inc., Satellite Products Division, Oxnard, California (CalAmp).
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of Low Noise Block Feed down converter/amplifiers for
satellite television. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Select Staffing.
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 workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
CalAmp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CalAmp Products, Inc.,
Satellite Products Division, including on-site leased workers from
Select Staffing, Oxnard, California who are engaged in activities
related to the production of Low Noise Block Feed down
converter/amplifiers for satellite television 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 CalAmp Products, Inc., Satellite Products
Division, including on-site leased workers from Select
Staffing, Oxnard, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 18, 2010, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on December 20, 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.”
