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 September 26, 2012 by a State Workforce Representative
on behalf of workers of ITT Cannon, LLC, a subsidiary of ITT
Corporation, Santa Ana, California (subject firm). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
electronic connectors. The workers are not separately
identifiable by article produced.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Innovative Staffing, First Choice Staffing, ProSearch,
First Option, Peopleware, Creative Circle, The Guthrie Group,
Accountemps, and Recruitment Solutions.
Workers of the subject firm were previously certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under
petition (TA-W-71,076; certification expired on June 23, 2011).
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 electronic connectors produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITT Cannon, LLC,
Santa Ana, California, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of electronic 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 Cannon, LLC, a subsidiary of ITT
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Innovative Staffing, First Choice Staffing, ProSearch,
First Option, Peopleware, Creative Circle, The Guthrie
Group, Accountemps, and Recruitment Solutions, Santa Ana,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 25, 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 17th day of October, 2012
