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 November 26, 2012 by an one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of workers of Nanya Technology Corporation Delaware, a
subsidiary of Nanya Technology Corporation-Taiwan, Houston
Office, Houston, Texas. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of D-RAM design engineering
services.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Nanya.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nanya Technology
Corporation Delaware, a subsidiary of Nanya Technology
Corporation-Taiwan, Houston Office, Houston, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of D-RAM design
engineering services 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 Nanya Technology Corporation Delaware, a
subsidiary of Nanya Technology Corporation-Taiwan, Houston
Office, Houston, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 26, 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 31st day of December, 2012.
