Notice of Revised Determination
After Statutory Reconsideration

As required by the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization
Act of 2015 (TAARA 2015), which was enacted as Title IV of the
Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law No. 114-27,
section 405(a)(1)(A), the investigation into this petition was
reopened for a reconsideration investigation to apply the
requirements for worker group eligibility under chapter 2 of
title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by the TAARA 2015,
to the facts of this petition (statutory reconsideration).

The initial investigation, initiated May 9, 2014,
resulted in a negative determination, issued on July 2, 2014,
that was based on the findings that separations at the workers’
firm are not attributable to increased imports of article or
shifts in production to foreign countries. The determination was
applicable to workers and former workers of Sensormatic Electronics
LLC, a subsidiary of Tyco International Corporation, Security
Products Division, Accounts Receivable Group, Boca Raton, Florida
(herein referred as “Sensormatic” or “workers’ firm” or “worker
group”). The workers of the firm are engaged in activities related
to the production of security cameras. The subject worker group
supplies internal accounts receivable services. The worker group
is not comprised of on-site leased workers.

Based on information reviewed during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department of Labor determines that a shift in
services to a foreign country contributed importantly to the
separations at the workers’ firm.

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 services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Sensormatic.

Conclusion

After careful review, I determine that workers of
Sensormatic Electronics LLC, subsidiary of Tyco International
Corporation, Security Products Division, Accounts Receivable
Group, Boca Raton, Florida, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of internal accounts receivable 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 Sensormatic Electronics LLC, subsidiary of Tyco
International Corporation, Security Products Division, Accounts
Receivable Group, Boca Raton, Florida who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 29, 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.”

Negative Determination 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 herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
Workers of a firm may be eligible for worker adjustment
assistance if they satisfy the criteria of subsection (a) and (b)
of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a) and (b). For the
Department of Labor to issue a certification for workers under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), the following
three criteria must be met:
(1) The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that 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) The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied in one of two
ways:
(A) Increased Imports Path:
(i) sales or production, or both, at the workers' firm must
have decreased absolutely, AND
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and
(iii) the increase 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 or subdivision.

(B) Shift in Production Path:
(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
country under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African
Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery 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.

For the Department to issue a certification under Section
222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), to workers of a Supplier
or a Downstream Producer, the following criteria must be met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
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) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or
production is related to the article that was the basis
for such certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
terms "Supplier" and "Downstream Producer."
The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on May 9, 2014 on
behalf of workers of Sensormatic Electronics LLC, a subsidiary of
Tyco International Corporation, Security Products Division,
Accounts Receivable Group, Boca Raton, Florida (subject worker
group). Sensormatic Electronics LLC is engaged in activities
related to the production of security products such as cameras.
The subject workers perform accounts receivable functions.
The petition states "Job responsibilities outsourced/moved to
Langstaff, CAN" (Canada).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
The investigation revealed that Sensormatic Electronics LLC
not shift production of security products, or like or directly
competitive articles, to a foreign country which is a party to
free trade agreement with the United States or a beneficiary
country under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. The investigation also
revealed no actual or likely increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by the workers' firm.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that Sensormatic Electronics LLC is not a
Supplier or Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group
of workers who received a certification of eligibility under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a).
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA), the worker group must be certified eligible to apply for
trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified
eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Sensormatic
Electronics LLC, a subsidiary of Tyco International Corporation,
Security Products Division, Accounts Receivable Group, Boca Raton,
Florida, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and are
also denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, amended.
