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 August 2, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Transform Manufacturing, LLC, Transform Holdings,
Inc., Nampa, Idaho (TA-W-81,847) and Transform Manufacturing,
LLC, Transform Holdings, Inc., Boise, Idaho (TA-W-81,847A).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of solar cells and solar assemblies. The workers
are not separately identifiable by product line.
The worker group at each location includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco USA, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Micron
Technology, Inc., Hudson Global Resources Ltd., and RS Solar
Ventures Ltd.
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 solar cells and
solar subassemblies produced by the workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Transform
Manufacturing, LLC, Nampa, Idaho and Boise, Idaho.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Transform
Manufacturing, LLC, Transform Holdings, Inc., Nampa, Idaho and
Boise, Idaho, who are engaged in activities related to
production of solar cells and solar subassemblies, 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 Transform Manufacturing, LLC, Transform
Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Adecco USA, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Micron
Technology, Inc., Hudson Global Resources Ltd., and RS
Solar Ventures, Ltd., Nampa, Idaho (TA-W-81,847) and
Transform Manufacturing, LLC, Transform Holdings, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco USA, Inc.,
Kelly Services, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc., Hudson
Global Resources Ltd., and RS Solar Ventures, Ltd.,
Boise, Idaho (TA-W-81,847A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 2,
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 11th day of September, 2012
