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 October 14, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, dba ON
Semiconductor/Zener-Rectifier, Operations Division, Phoenix
Arizona (SCI, LLC). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of semiconductors. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Superior Technical
Resources.
The worker group was previously Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) certified under petition number TA-W-70,235 which expired
on October 19, 2011.
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
semiconductors like or directly competitive with the
semiconductors produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at SCI, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Semiconductor
Components Industries, LLC, dba ON Semiconductor/Zener-
Rectifier, Operations Division, including on-site leased
workers from Superior Technical Resources, Phoenix Arizona,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
semiconductors 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 Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC,
dba ON Semiconductor/Zener-Rectifier, Operations
Division, including on-site leased workers from Superior
Technical Resources, Phoenix Arizona, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October
20, 2011, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 18th day of November, 2011.
