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 October 12, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of United Chemi-Con, Inc., a subsidiary of Nippon Chemi-
Con Corporation, Lansing, North Carolina. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of aluminum
electrolytic capacitors. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Kelly Temporary Services, Industrial Pipe
Fitting, Welding & Electric and Northwest Food Services.
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 articles like or
directly competitive with the aluminum electrolytic capacitors
produced by the workers' firm, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at United Chemi-Con, Inc., a subsidiary
of Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, Lansing, North Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United Chemi-Con,
Inc., a subsidiary of Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, Lansing,
North Carolina, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors 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 United Chemi-Con, Inc., a subsidiary of
Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Temporary Services, Industrial Pipe
Fitting, Welding & Electric and Northwest Food Services,
Lansing, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 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 28th day of November, 2012
