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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
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) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is related
to the article or service that was the basis for such
certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or services used in the
production of articles or in the supply of services, as the case
may be, that were the basis for a certification of eligibility
under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of a group of
workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 22, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Matric Limited, a subsidiary of Matric Group LLC,
Seneca, Pennsylvania (TA-W-91,493). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of custom industrial
electronic controls and components. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Career Concepts (TA-W-91,493A).
Workers of the subject firm were eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-83,310 (certification
expired on February 21, 2016). The certification of TA-W-83,310
excludes on-site leased workers.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because the workers' firm is
a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the finished
article that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business with the firm that employed a certified worker group
contributed importantly to worker separations at Matric Limited.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Matric Limited, Seneca,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of custom industrial electronic controls and
components, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:






"All workers of Matric Limited, a subsidiary of Matric Group
LLC, Seneca, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 22, 2016
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" and
"All leased workers from Career Concepts working on-site at
Matric Limited, Seneca, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 19,
2015 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 12th day of May 2016.
