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 April 3, 2017 on behalf of workers of SV Probe, a
subsidiary of Ellipsiz LTD, SV TCL Division, Research and
Development Department, Tempe, Arizona (SV TCL-R&D). Workers
of SV TCL-R&D are engaged in activities related to the supply of
product research and development services. There are no on-site
leased or temporary workers within SV TCL-R&D.
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 SV TCL-R&D 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 supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with those supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at SV TCL-R&D.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SV TCL-R&D, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of product research
and development services, 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 SV Probe, a subsidiary of Ellipsiz LTD, SV
TCL Division, Research and Development Department, Tempe,
Arizona, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 31, 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 5th day of April 2017.
