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 April 14, 2015, applicable to workers
of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC), a subsidiary of
AMETEK, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Zero Chaos and
Omni Group, West Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-85,886) and Instrumentation
and Specialty Controls (ISC), a subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Zero Chaos, Omni Group, Elwood Staffing
and Express Personnel, Grand Junction, Colorado (TA-W-85,886A). The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on May 28, 2015 (80 FR 30492).

At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The workers of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC),
West Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-85,886) are engaged in activities
related to the production of foodservice OEM controls and
stand-alone timers, industrial process controls, controls for
Industrial air filters and controls for environmental dust
collectors.

The workers of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC),
Grand Junction, Colorado (TA-W-85,886A) are engaged in activities
related to the production of instrumentation, gauges, and driver
information panels for over-the-road trucks, RVs, and off-highway
vehicles, message centers, LCD displays, light bars, modular
instrumentation and control/display modules. The company reports
that workers leased from Axelon Services Corporation and AlphaProTemps,
APR Inc. were employed on-site at the West Chicago, Illinois location
of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC). 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 Axelon Services Corporation and AlphaProTemps, APR Inc. working on-site at the
West Chicago, Illinois location of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC).

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-85,886 is hereby
issued as follows:

"All workers of Axelon Services Corporation and
AlphaProTemps, APR Inc., reporting to Instrumentation and
Specialty Controls (ISC), West Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-85,886),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 18, 2014, through April 14, 2017, 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 4th day of June, 2015.

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 by a company official on March 19, 2015 on behalf of
workers of Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC), a
subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Zero Chaos and Omni Group, West Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-
85,886) and Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC), a
subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Zero Chaos, Omni Group, Elwood Staffing and Express
Personnel, Grand Junction, Colorado (TA-W-85,886A).
Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC), West
Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-85,886) is engaged activities related
to the production of foodservice OEM controls and stand-alone
timers, industrial process controls, controls for Industrial air
filters and controls for environmental dust collectors.

to the production of instrumentation, gauges, and driver
information panels for over-the-road trucks, RVs, and off-
highway vehicles, message centers, LCD displays, light bars,
modular instrumentation and control/display modules.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 employment
decline is related to the shift in production by the firm of
articles to a foreign country that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor 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.

Specialty Controls (ISC), West Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-85,886)
and Instrumentation and Specialty Controls (ISC), Grand
Junction, Colorado (TA-W-85,886A), who are engaged in
activities related to the production of foodservice OEM controls

driver information panels for over-the-road trucks, RVs, and
off-highway vehicles, message centers, LCD displays, light
bars, modular instrumentation and control/display modules (TA-
W-85,886A) 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 Instrumentation and Specialty Controls
(ISC), a subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc., including on-site
