Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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
(Department) 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, or an appropriate subdivision of
the firm, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase
in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 8, 2014 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Intel Corporation, Fab 11X Manufacturing Facility, including
on-site leased workers from Applied Materials, Inc., ASM
America, Inc., ASML US, Inc., DNS Electronics, LLC, EBARA
Technologies, Inc., Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc.,
KLA Tencor Corporation, Kokusai Semiconductor Equipment
Corporation, LAM Research Corporation, Nikon Precision, Inc.,
Novellus (d/b/a LAM Research Corporation), Oerlikon, USA, Inc.,
Pfeiffer Vacuum, Inc., Rudolph Technologies, Tokyo Electron
America, Inc., Ultratech, Incorporated, Varian Semiconductor
Equipment Associates, LTX-Credence Corporation, MSR-FSR LLC,
and VWR International, Rio Rancho, New Mexico (hereafter
referred to as "Intel-Fab11X" or "the subject firm"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of computer processing units (CPUs) and chipsets
used in products such as personal computers. Workers at the
subject firm are not separately identifiable by product line.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners, the workers' firm, and publically
available material (including the Intel Corporation's website).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Intel-Fab 11X 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 employment
decline is related to the shift in production of CPUs
and/chipsets to a foreign country, and there has been or is
likely to be an increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with the CPUs and/or chipsets which are or
were produced by Intel-Fab 11X.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Intel-Fab 11X, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of CPUs and
chipsets, 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 Intel Corporation, Fab 11 X Manufacturing
Facility, including on-site leased workers from Applied
Materials, Inc., ASM America, Inc., ASML US, Inc., DNS
Electronics, LLC, EBARA Technologies, Inc., Hitachi High
Technologies America, Inc., KLA Tencor Corporation,
Kokusai Semiconductor Equipment Corporation, LAM Research
Corporation, Nikon Precision, Inc., Novellus (d/b/a LAM
Research Corporation), Oerlikon, USA, Inc., Pfeiffer
Vacuum, Inc., Rudolph Technologies, Tokyo Electron

Semiconductor Equipment Associates, LTX-Credence
Corporation, MSR-FSR LLC, and VWR International, Rio
Rancho, New Mexico, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 7, 2013,
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, and are
also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
