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 March 21, 2017 on behalf of workers of Arrow
International, Global Procurement, a subsidiary of Teleflex
Medical, Reading, Pennsylvania (TA-W-92,745) and Teleflex,
Global Procurement, a subsidiary of Teleflex Medical,
Morrisville, North Carolina (TA-W-92,745A) (hereafter
collectively referred to as "Teleflex-Global Procurement"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of sterile, single use disposable medical device components and
full medical device kits. The subject worker group (Teleflex-
Global Procurement) does not include on-site leased workers.
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 Teleflex-Global Procurement 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 those produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Teleflex-Global Procurement.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Teleflex-Global
Procurement, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of sterile, single use disposable medical components
and full kits, 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 Arrow International, Global Procurement, a
subsidiary of Teleflex Medical, Reading, Pennsylvania (TA-
W-92,745) and Teleflex, Global Procurement, a subsidiary of
Teleflex Medical, Morrisville, North Carolina (TA-W-
92,745A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 20, 2016, 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 May 2017.
