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 November 8, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of ITT Veam, LLC., Interconnect Solutions (ICS)
Division, Watertown, Connecticut (ITT). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of electrical
and fiber optic connectors. The workers are not separately
identifiable. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services and workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages were reported through ITT Corporation
(13-5158950).
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 articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
firm, which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at ITT.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITT Veam, LLC.,
Interconnect Solutions (ICS) Division, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services and workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through ITT
Corporation (13-5158950), Watertown, Connecticut, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electrical
and fiber optic connectors 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 ITT Veam, LLC., Interconnect Solutions
(ICS) Division, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services and workers whose unemployment insurance
(UI) wages were reported through ITT Corporation
(13-5158950), Watertown, Connecticut, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 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 9th day of December, 2011.
