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 June 6, 2016, by three workers on behalf of workers of
Cal-Comp USA (Indiana) INC, f/k/a Total Electronics, as subsidiary
of Cal-Com (USA) CO. LTD, including on-site leased workers from
Numbers and Words, Inc., Logansport, Indiana (Cal-Comp).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of electronic circuit boards.
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 articles like
or directly competitive with the electronic circuit boards
produced by the subject workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Cal-Comp.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cal-Comp, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic
circuit boards, 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 Cal-Comp USA (Indiana) INC, f/k/a Total
Electronics, a subsidiary of Cal-Com (USA) CO. LTD, including
on-site leased workers from Numbers and Words, Inc.,
Logansport, Indiana who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 3, 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 24th day of June 2016.
