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 13, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of TTelectronics/BiTechnologies, Fullerton, California
(hereafter referred to as "subject firm"). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic
devices (such as microcircuits and hybrids, flex screening,
potentiometers, magnetics, sensors, and trimmers) and are not
separately identifiable by article produced.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from GHRO,
Kelly Services, Pathway (previously called "MJO"), and Spherion.
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 the subject worker group
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 articles
like or directly competitive with the electronic devices
produced by the subject worker group, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at
TTelectronics/BiTechnologies, Fullerton, California.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained during the
investigation, I determine that workers of
TTelectronics/BiTechnologies, Fullerton, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic
devices, 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 TTelectronics/BiTechnologies, including on-
site leased workers from GHRO, Kelly Services, Pathway
(previously called "MJO"), and Spherion, Fullerton,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 12, 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 21st day of October, 2013
