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 September 6, 2013, by a company official of Lonza
Biologics, Inc., a subsidiary of Lonza Group Ltd., Hopkinton,
Massachusetts (Lonza Biologics). The subject workers are engaged
in employment related to the production of bulk drug substance.
The worker groups are not separately identifiable by article
produced by the firm. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and Suburban Group.
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 Lonza Biologics 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the bulk drug
substance produced by the subject workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Lonza Biologics,
Hopkinton, Massachusetts.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained during the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lonza Biologics,
Inc., a subsidiary of Lonza Group Ltd., Hopkinton,
Massachusetts, who are/were engaged in employment related to the
production of bulk drug substance, 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 Lonza Biologics, Inc., a subsidiary of
Lonza Group Ltd., including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and Suburban Group, Hopkinton, Massachusetts, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 1, 2012, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on 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 21st day of October, 2013
