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 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 September 23, 2014 on behalf of workers of the workers of
Foxconn Assembly LLC/Foxconn Hon Hai Logistics LLC, a subsidiary
of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., LTD, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported under Foxconn Hon
Hai Logistics Texas, LLC and on-site leased workers from Spiretek
International, Inc. and Effex Management Solutions, LLC,
Houston, Texas (Foxconn). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of printed circuit boards.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and industry reports.
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.
Section 222(a) (2)(B) has been met because the employment
decline is related to actual/likely increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
subject firm following the shift in production of printed circuit
boards to a foreign country.
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. 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 Foxconn, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of printed
circuit boards, 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 Foxconn Assembly LLC/Foxconn Hon Hai
Logistics LLC, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry
Co., LTD, including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages are reported under Foxconn Hon Hai Logistics Texas, LLC
and including on-site leased workers from Spiretek
International, Inc. and Effex Management Solutions, LLC,
Houston, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after September 22, 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."
