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 21, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sierra Video Systems, a Kramer Electronics Company,
Nevada City, California (Sierra Video). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of routing,
control, and infrastructure systems for the audio/visual
industry. Specifically, the workers develop and manufacture
routing switches and equipment for use in broadcast, post
production, presentation, and pro video markets. The workers
are not separately identifiable. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Adecco and workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through TriNet
Human Resources Corporation.
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 shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Sierra Video.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sierra Video
Systems, a Kramer Electronics Company, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco and workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages were reported through TriNet Human
Resources Corporation, Nevada City, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of routing,
control, and infrastructure systems for the audio/visual
industry, specifically the development and manufacturing of
routing switches and equipment, 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 Sierra Video Systems, a Kramer
Electronics Company, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco and workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages were reported through TriNet Human Resources
Corporation, Nevada City, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
February 20, 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 13th day of March, 2013.
