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 August 10, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Micron Technology, Inc., 8000 S. Federal Way,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower US Inc.,
Bledsoe Construction Inc., NSTAR Global Services Inc.,
Flextechs LLC, Experis US Inc., YMC Inc., Nanometrics Inc.,
Challenger Companies Inc., Ryzen Solutions, Elwood Staffing
Services Inc., and Pacific Source Electric LLC, Boise, Idaho
(herein referred to as "Micron Technology, Inc."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
computer memory chips.
The worker group, minus the on-site leased workers, was
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
under petition number TA-W-82,956 which expired on December 3,
2015.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Micron Technology, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Micron Technology,
Inc., 8000 S. Federal Way, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower US Inc., Bledsoe Construction Inc., NSTAR Global
Services Inc., Flextechs LLC, Experis US Inc., YMC Inc.,
Nanometrics Inc., Challenger Companies Inc., Ryzen Solutions,
Elwood Staffing Services Inc., and Pacific Source Electric
LLC, Boise, Idaho, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of computer memory chips 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 Micron Technology, Inc., 8000 S. Federal
Way, Boise, Idaho (TA-W-92,100), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 4,
2015 through two years from the date of certification, and
