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 March 31, 2016 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of ITT Corporation - Interconnect Solutions, ITT
Cannon, LCC, a subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Santa Ana,
California (ITT Corporation - Interconnect Solutions). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of electrical connectors. Workers are not separately
identifiable by the article produced. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
Workers at ITT Corporation - Interconnect Solutions are
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under an
existing certification (TA-W-85,663; expires December 11, 2016)
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in ITT Corporation -
Interconnect Solutions 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 the electrical connectors
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at ITT Corporation - Interconnect Solutions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITT Corporation -
Interconnect Solutions, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of electrical connectors, 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 ITT Corporation - Interconnect Solutions,
ITT Cannon, LCC, a subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Santa
Ana, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 12, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 26th day of August 2016.
