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.

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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term “Downstream Producer” as “a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for another
firm for articles or services with respect to which a group of
workers in such other firm has been certified under subsection (a)
[of Section 222 of the Act]” and defines the term “value-added
production processes or services” to “include final assembly,
finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or transportation
services.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 24, 2013 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf
of workers of Atmel Corporation, Colorado Springs Foundry
Operations Group and the Colorado Springs Test Group, Colorado
Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364) and Atmel Corporation, Equipment
Engineering Services Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-
82,364A). Workers of Atmel Corporation, Colorado Springs Foundry
Operations Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364) are
engaged in activities related to reporting and tracking of
semiconductor production. Workers of Atmel Corporation, Colorado
Springs Test Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364) are
engaged in activities related to testing of semiconductor
products. Workers of Atmel Corporation, Equipment Engineering
Services Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364A) are
engaged in activities related to the supply of technical support
for semiconductor production.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
With regard to workers of Atmel Corporation, Colorado Springs
Foundry Operations Group and the Colorado Springs Test Group,
Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364), 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 Atmel Corporation
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the Colorado Springs
Foundry Operations Group and the Colorado Springs Test Group, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Atmel.
With regard to workers of Atmel Corporation, Equipment
Engineering Services Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-
82,364A), Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Atmel Corporation,
Equipment Engineering Services Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado
(TA-W-82,364A) is a Downstream Producer to another subdivision of
Atmel Corporation that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such service is related to the finished
article that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Atmel Corporation, Equipment Engineering Services
Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado with the TAA-certified
subdivision contributed importantly to worker separations in the
Equipment Engineering Services Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Atmel Corporation,
Colorado Springs Foundry Operations Group, Colorado (TA-W-82,364),
who are engaged in activities related to reporting and tracking of
semiconductor production, and the workers of Atmel Corporation,
Colorado Springs Test Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-
82,364), who are engaged in activities related to testing of
semiconductor products meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). I
further determine that workers of Atmel Corporation, Equipment
Engineering Services Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-
82,364A), who are engaged in technical support of semiconductor
production, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of Atmel Corporation, Colorado Springs Foundry
Operations Group and the Colorado Springs Test Group, Colorado
Springs, Colorado (TA-W-82,364) and Atmel Corporation,
Equipment Engineering Services Group, Colorado Springs,
Colorado (TA-W-82,364A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 22, 2012
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 4th day of June, 2013.
