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 February 8, 2012 by the company official on behalf of
workers of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Worldwide Test
Engineering Unit, Hillsboro, Oregon (Maxim). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of design layout
services. The subject worker group does not include any leased
workers or workers from a temporary staffing agency.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 supply of services like or
directly competitive with the design layout services supplied by
the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Maxim.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc., Worldwide Test Engineering Unit, Hillsboro,
Oregon, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
design layout services, 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 Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Worldwide
Test Engineering Unit, Hillsboro, Oregon, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February
6, 2011, 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 March, 2012.
