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 September 9, 2015 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of ResMed Motor Technologies Inc.,
Chatsworth, California (herein known as "ResMed Motor
Technologies Inc." or "workers' firm"). The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Triad Systems
International, Two Roads Professional Resources, and Suna
Solutions, Inc. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of motorized blowers used in
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines or
ventilator systems and mandibular repositioning devices, oral
appliance use to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article production
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at ResMed Motor Technologies Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ResMed Motor
Technologies Inc., including on-site leased workers from Triad
Systems International, Two Roads Professional Resources, and
Suna Solutions, Inc., Chatsworth, California who are engaged in
activities related to the production of motorized blowers used
in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines or
ventilator systems and mandibular repositioning devices, oral
appliance use to treat obstructive sleep apnea 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 ResMed Motor Technologies Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Triad Systems International,
Two Roads Professional Resources, and Suna Solutions,
Inc., Chatsworth, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 31st day of December, 2015
