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 November 25, 2013, applicable to workers and former workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Aerotek, and Resource Manufacturing, Fort Collins, Colorado (subject firm). The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2014 (79 FR 8736). Workers at the subject firm were engaged in activities related to the production of thin film and solar PV inverters.
At the request of the State of Colorado, the Department reviewed the certification applicable to the subject firm. The State asserts that the worker group covered by TA-W-83,150A includes on-site leased workers from Insight Global.
The subject firm confirmed that workers from Insight Global were employed on-site at Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Fort Collins, Colorado. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from Insight Global working on-site at Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-83,150A). The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,150A is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Aerotek, Resource Manufacturing, and Insight Global, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-83,150A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 1, 2013 through November 25, 2015, 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.”

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 18, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Bend, Oregon (TA-W-
83,150), and Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Fort Collins,
Colorado (TA-W-83,150A) (both locations are hereafter referred
to as "Advanced Energy"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of thin film and solar
photovoltaic inverters.
The worker group at Bend, Oregon (TA-W-83,150) includes on-
site leased workers from Mid Oregon Personnel. The worker group
at Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-83,150A) includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Aerotek, and Resource Manufacturing.
Workers at Advanced Energy were eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under a certification which expires on
November 30, 2013 (TA-W-80,532).
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 the production of a(n)
articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Advanced Energy.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Advanced Energy
Industries, Inc., Bend, Oregon (TA-W-83,150), and Advanced
Energy Industries, Inc., Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-83,150A),
who are engaged in activities related to the production of thin
film and solar photovoltaic inverters 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 Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Mid Oregon Personnel, Bend,
Oregon (TA-W-83,150), and Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Aerotek, and
Resource Manufacturing, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-
83,150A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 1, 2013 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."
