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 November 20, 2015 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Fort
Collins, Colorado (Advanced Energy). The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of precision
power products, thermal instrumentation, and solar inverters.
Workers are not separately identifiable by article produced.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Adecco Employment Services, Resource Manufacturing, and
Aerotek Staffing Agency (TA-W-91,165) and on-site leased workers
from Insight Global, Inc. (TA-W-91,165A).
Workers of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Fort Collins,
Colorado and on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment
Services, Resource Manufacturing, and Aerotek Staffing Agency
are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
under an earlier certification (TA-W-83,150A) which expired on
November 25, 2015. On-site leased workers from Insight Global,
Inc. are not eligible to apply for TAA under the afore-
referenced certification.
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Advanced Energy.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Advanced Energy
Industries, Inc. Fort Collins, Colorado, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of precision power
products, thermal instrumentation, and solar inverters, 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 Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment
Services, Resource Manufacturing, and Aerotek Staffing
Agency, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-91,165), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 26, 2015, through two years from the date of
certification, and on-site leased workers from Insight
Global, Inc., reporting to Advanced Energy Industries,
Inc., Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-91,165A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 19, 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 10th day of January, 2016
