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 August 24, 2015 by the State Workforce office on behalf
of workers of ATS Systems Oregon, Inc., a subsidiary of ATS
Automation Tooling Systems, Inc., Corvallis, Oregon (ATS Systems
Oregon). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of automation products (including customer automation
products).
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Express Services, Selectemp, DME Engineering Consultants, Bob's
CAD Design, ICE Corp., Jim Railsback Engineering, and Fred Byers.
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 workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with those produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to separations at ATS Systems Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ATS Systems Oregon
Inc., Corvallis, Oregon, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of automation products, 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 ATS Systems Oregon, Inc., a subsidiary of
ATS Automation Tooling Systems, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Express Services, Selectemp, DME
Engineering Consultants, Bob's CAD Design, ICE Corp, Jim
Railsback Engineering, and Fred Byers, Corvallis, Oregon,
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."
