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 October 17, 2013 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Boston Scientific, including on-site
leased workers from Gemini Staffing Consultants, Advantage
Resourcing, Entegee Engineering Technical Group, On
Assignment, and Aerotek, Arden Hills, Minnesota (TA-W-83,131)
and Boston Scientific, including on-site leased workers from
Gemini Staffing Consultants, Advantage Resourcing, Entegee
Engineering Technical Group, On Assignment, and Aerotek,
Marlborough, Massachusetts (TA-W-83,131A) (collectively
referred to as "subject firm"). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of post-market quality
testing services. The subject worker group includes workers
engaged in certain post-market quality testing services for
medical devices.
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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Boston Scientific,
including on-site leased workers from Gemini Staffing
Consultants, Advantage Resourcing, Entegee Engineering
Technical Group, On Assignment, and Aerotek, Arden Hills,
Minnesota (TA-W-83,131) and Boston Scientific, including on-
site leased workers from Gemini Staffing Consultants,
Advantage Resourcing, Entegee Engineering Technical Group, On
Assignment, and Aerotek, Marlborough, Massachusetts (TA-W-
83,131A), who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
post-market quality testing services, 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 Boston Scientific, including on-site
leased workers from Gemini Staffing Consultants,
Advantage Resourcing, Entegee Engineering Technical
Group, On Assignment, and Aerotek, Arden Hills, Minnesota
(TA-W-83,131) and Boston Scientific, including on-site
leased workers from Gemini Staffing Consultants,
Advantage Resourcing, Entegee Engineering Technical
Group, On Assignment, and Aerotek, Marlborough,
Massachusetts (TA-W-83,131A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
30, 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 6th day of March, 2014
