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 February 12, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of the U.S. Automotive Design Team of NXP
Semiconductors, San Jose, California. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of automotive
design services. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers of Randstad General Partner LLC and TargetCW.
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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the automotive design
services supplied by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at San Jose, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the U.S. Automotive
Design Team of NXP Semiconductors, including on-site leased
workers from Randstad General Partner LLC and TargetCW, San
Jose, California, who are engaged in activities related to
automotive design 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 the U.S. Automotive Design Team of NXP
Semiconductors, including on-site leased workers of
Randstad General Partner LLC and TargetCW, San Jose,
California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 11, 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 1st day of March, 2013.
