Amended 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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 31, 2013, applicable to workers of Welch Allyn, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-82,993) and Welch Allyn, Manufacturing Division, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Skaneateles Falls, New York (TA-W-82,993A). The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2013 (78 FR 69880).
At the request of the state workforce office, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of medical monitoring equipment.
The investigation confirms that workers of Ajilon/Modis were sufficiently under the operational control of the firm to be considered leased workers. The intent of the Department is to certify all workers of the firm who were affected by the shift in production to a foreign country.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include on-site leased workers of Ajilon/Modis.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,993 is hereby issued as follows:
“All workers of Welch Allyn, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and Ajilon/Modis, Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-82,993) and Welch Allyn, Manufacturing Division, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Skaneateles Falls, New York (TA-W-82,993A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 14, 2012 through October 31, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the date of certification through October 31, 2015, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

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 August 15, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Welch Allyn, Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-82,993) and
Welch Allyn, Manufacturing Division, Skaneateles Falls, New
York (TA-W-82,993A). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of medical monitoring equipment. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services.
Workers of Welch Allyn Inc., Finance Department,
Skaneateles Falls, New York were previously certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 15, 2012
(TA-W-82,120) based on a shift in services. That certification
expires November 15, 2014. Workers of the Finance Department
are separately identifiable from workers in the Manufacturing
Division.
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Welch Allyn.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Welch Allyn,
Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-82,993) and Welch Allyn, Manufacturing
Division, Skaneateles Falls, New York (TA-W-82,993A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of medical
monitoring 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 Welch Allyn, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services, Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-
82,993) and Welch Allyn, Manufacturing Division,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Skaneateles Falls, New York (TA-W-82,993A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 14, 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 31st day of October, 2013.
