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 22, 2013 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Osram Sylvania PR Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Jobs for You, Inc., Luquillo, Puerto Rico
(subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of filaments for light bulbs and lamps.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at the subject 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 an article like
or directly competitive with the filaments produced by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Osram Sylvania PR
Corporation, Luquillo, Puerto Rico, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of filaments for light bulbs and lamps,
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 Osram Sylvania PR Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Jobs for You, Inc., Luquillo,
Puerto Rico, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 21, 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 27th day of November, 2013
