ADVANCED MONOLYTHIC CERAMICS, INC.
A DIVISION OF JOHANSON CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO STAFFING
OLEAN, NEW YORK

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 February 7, 2014, applicable to workers of Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a division of Johanson Corporation, Olean, New York. The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2014 (79 FR 10189).
At the request of an American Job Center, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in activities related to the production of ceramic filters and capacitors.
The company reports that workers leased from Adecco Staffing were employed on-site at the Olean, New York location of Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a division of Johanson Corporation. 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 Adecco Staffing working on-site at the Olean, New York location of Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a division of Johanson Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,292 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Adecco Staffing, reporting to Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a division of Johanson Corporation, Olean, New York, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 12, 2013 through February 7, 2016, 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 5th day of May, 2014.

ADVANCED MONOLYTHIC CERAMICS, INC.
A DIVISION OF JOHANSON CORPORATION
OLEAN, NEW YORK

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 13, 2013 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Advanced Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a division of
Johanson Corporation, Olean, New York (AMC). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of ceramic
filters and capacitors. The workers are not separately
identifiable by product produced.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and surveys were sent to their
authorized distributors.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of ceramic filters and capacitors by AMC have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because the
increased customer imports of articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by AMC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased indirect customer imports contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales and production declines
at AMC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Advanced Monolythic
Ceramics, Inc., a division of Johanson Corporation, Olean, New
York, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
ceramic filters and capacitors 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 Monolythic Ceramics, Inc., a
division of Johanson Corporation, Olean, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 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."
