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 July 2, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sensata Technologies Inc., Power Controls Business,
including on-site leased workers from Experis Manpower Group,
Cambridge, Maryland. The workers' firm is engaged in
production of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers and
assemblies.
Workers of Sensata Technologies Inc., Power Controls
Business, Cambridge, Maryland, were previously certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under
certification TA-W-73,800 that expired on May 25, 2012. That
certification did not include the on-site leased workers from
Experis Manpower Group.
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 production of hydraulic
magnetic circuit breakers and assemblies like or directly
competitive with the article produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Sensata
Technologies, Inc., Power Controls Business, Cambridge,
Maryland.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sensata
Technologies Inc., Power Controls Business, Cambridge,
Maryland who are engaged in activities related to production
of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers and assemblies, 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 Sensata Technologies Inc., Power Controls
Business, Cambridge, Maryland (TA-W-81,766) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 26, 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,
AND
All leased workers from Experis Manpower Group, working
on-site at Sensata Technologies Inc., Power Controls
Business, Cambridge, Maryland, (TA-W-81,766A) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 29, 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 12th day of July, 2012
