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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 15, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Infineon Technologies Americas Corp., formerly known
as International Rectifier, El Segundo, California (herein
known as "Infineon Technologies Americas Corp." or "workers'
firm"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of corporate services, such as human resources,
legal, information technology, and domestic marketing. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
TargetCW, Top Echelon, and Ultimate Staffing.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Infineon Technologies Americas Corp.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Infineon Technologies
Americas Corp., formerly known as International Rectifier,
including on-site leased workers from TargetCW, Top Echelon,
and Ultimate Staffing, El Segundo, California, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of corporate services, such
as human resources, legal, information technology, and
domestic marketing 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 Infineon Technologies Americas Corp.,
formerly known as International Rectifier, including on-
site leased workers from TargetCW, Top Echelon, and
Ultimate Staffing, El Segundo, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 1, 2014, 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."
