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 December 9, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products,
Inc., a subsidiary of L'Oreal USA Inc., Pacific Bioscience
Laboratories Inc., Redmond, Washington (TA-W-92,478) and
Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products, Inc., a subsidiary
of L'Oreal USA Inc., Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Inc.,
Kent, Washington (TA-W-92,478A) (hereafter collectively
referred to as "Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products-
Washington"). Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products, Inc. is
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic
cleansing devices for the beauty care industry. The subject
worker group at the Redmond, Washington facility includes on-
site leased workers from Manpower and Select Staffing (TA-W-
92,478).
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 at Pacific Bioscience
Laboratories Products-Washington 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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products-
Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pacific Bioscience
Laboratories Products-Washington, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of electronic cleansing devices for
the beauty care industry, 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 Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Products,
Inc., a subsidiary of L'Oreal USA Inc., Pacific
Bioscience Laboratories Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Manpower and Select Staffing, Redmond,
Washington (TA-W-92,478) and Pacific Bioscience
Laboratories Products, Inc., a subsidiary of L'Oreal USA
Inc., Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Inc., Kent,
Washington (TA-W-92,478A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 8, 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 18th day of January 2017.
