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; and

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

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm 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 July 11, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sanmina Corporation, SGS Division, Louisville,
Colorado. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of circuit board repair services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and a customer of the 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)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
circuit board repair services supplied by Sanmina Corporation,
SGS Division, Louisville, Colorado have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations at Sanmina Corporation, SGS Division,
Louisville, Colorado.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanmina Corporation,
SGS Division, Louisville, Colorado, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of brake assemblies and
brake systems 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 Sanmina Corporation, SGS Division,
Louisville, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 19, 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 August, 2013.
