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 22, 2017 on behalf of workers of Coriant
Operations, Inc., including workers reporting unemployment
insurance (UI) wages under Coriant North America, LLC, Tellabs
do Brasil LTDA, Coriant Communications Canada Ltd, Coriant
Communications de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., and Coriant
Communications Technologies (Shanghai) Limited, Naperville,
Illinois (Coriant). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of packet optical networking equipment.
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 a(n) article
like or directly competitive with the packet optical networking
equipment produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Coriant.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Coriant, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of packet optical
networking 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 Coriant Operations, Inc., including workers
reporting unemployment insurance (UI) wages under Coriant
North America, LLC, Tellabs do Brasil LTDA, Coriant
Communications Canada Ltd, Coriant Communications de Mexico,
S.A. de C.V., and Coriant Communications Technologies
(Shanghai) Limited, Naperville, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 21,
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 21st day of April 2017.
