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 November 5, 2013 on behalf of workers of Standard
Microsystems Corporation, a subsidiary of Microchip Technology
Incorporated, Testing Division, Hauppauge, New York. The
worker group is engaged in activities related to the supply of
semiconductor testing services along with research and
development, marketing, sales and other administrative
services. The worker group includes
This determination covers workers reporting wages under
FEIN: 11-2234952 and FEIN: 86-0629024. on-site leased workers
from Stivers Staffing Services.
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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the semiconductor testing
services supplied by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Standard Microsystems
Corporation, a subsidiary of Microchip Technology
Incorporated, Testing Division, Hauppauge, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Standard Microsystems
Corporation, a subsidiary of Microchip Technology
Incorporated, Testing Division, Hauppauge, New York, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of semiconductor
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 Standard Microsystems Corporation, a
subsidiary of Microchip Technology Incorporated, Testing
Division, including on-site leased workers from Stivers
Staffing Services, Hauppauge, New York, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
4, 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."
