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 July 22, 2016, by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Shimadzu USA Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of
Shimadzu America, Inc., Canby, Oregon (Shimadzu USA
Manufacturing). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of analytical and measurement
equipment used in chemical analysis.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Randstad USA, Selec-Temp Employment Services, StaffFinders, and
Terra Staffing Group.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 analytical and
measurement equipment produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Shimadzu USA
Manufacturing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Shimadzu USA
Manufacturing, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of analytical and measurement equipment, 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 Shimadzu USA Manufacturing, Inc., a
subsidiary of Shimadzu America, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Randstad USA, Selec-Temp Employment
Services, StaffFinders, and Terra Staffing Group, Canby,
Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 21, 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 16th day of August 2016.
