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 June 25, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Legal Compliance
Department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-81,746), Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation, Consumer Design Function, San Jose,
California (TA-W-81,746A), Lattice Semiconductor Corporation,
Research and Development Function, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-
81,746B), Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Sales-Customer
Service Function, (TA-W-81,746C) (Lattice Semiconductor). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of design and sales services in support of the firm's
production of semiconductor programmable logic devices. The
workers are separately identifiable by activity performed. All
four subject groups are in support of the firm's production of
semiconductor programmable logic devices. Workers of TA-W-
81,746B were previously certified under TA-W-71,845 which
expired on April 12, 2012.

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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Lattice Semiconductor.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation, Legal Compliance Department,
Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-81,746), Lattice Semiconductor
Corporation, Consumer Design Function, San Jose, California
(TA-W-81,746A), Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Research
and Development Function, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-81,746B),
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Sales-Customer Service
Function, (TA-W-81,746C), who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of design and sales services in support
of the firm's production of semiconductor programmable logic
devices 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 Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Legal
Compliance Department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-81,746),
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Consumer Design
Function, San Jose, California (TA-W-81,746A), Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation, Sales-Customer Service
Function, (TA-W-81,746C), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 22, 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."
AND


"All workers of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation,
Research and Development Function, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-
W-81,746B), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 13, 2012 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 12th day of July, 2012.
