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 May 19, 2016 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., Refurbishing Division,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad Source Right,
Wood Dale, Illinois (herein referred to as "Siemens Medical
Solutions USA"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of refurbished medical imaging
systems.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Siemens Medical Solutions USA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Siemens Medical
Solutions USA, Inc., Refurbishing Division, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad Source Right, Wood Dale,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of refurbished medical imaging systems 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 Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.,
Refurbishing Division, including on-site leased workers
from Randstad Source Right, Wood Dale, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 18, 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 9th day of June 2016.
