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), can be
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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(II)(aa) imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles into which one or more
component parts produced by such firm are directly
incorporated have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 29, 2012 by a one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of workers of NAVTEQ North America, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nokia Corporation, Location and Commerce,
Chicago, Illinois (NAVTEQ). The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of mapping software for
mobile and automotive applications. Specifically, the workers
supply support activities related to the firm’s production of
mapping software. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Beeline (including subcontractors of
Beeline).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm, the firm’s customers, and the
United States International Trade Commission.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of mapping software by NAVTEQ have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II)(aa) has been met because
aggregate U.S. imports of telephones for cellular networks or
for wireless networks and global positioning satellite (GPS)
systems incorporating mapping software have increased from 2011
to 2012.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased aggregate U.S. imports of telephones for
cellular networks or for wireless networks and global
positioning satellite (GPS) systems contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales and production declines
at NAVTEQ.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of NAVTEQ North America,
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nokia Corporation, Location
and Commerce, on-site leased workers from Beeline (including
subcontractors of Beeline), Chicago, Illinois, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of mapping software 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 NAVTEQ North America, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nokia Corporation, Location and Commerce,
on-site leased workers from Beeline (including
subcontractors of Beeline), Chicago, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 15, 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 27th day of March, 2013.
