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 May 5, 2017, by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of Teradyne, Inc., Nextest Division, San Jose,
California (Teradyne-Nextest). Workers of Teradyne-Nextest are
engaged in activities related to the production of test systems
designed to test "memory" of computer chips.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from CDI Corporation North America Staffing and California
Robotics.
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 Teradyne-Nextest 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 the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the test systems
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Teradyne-Nextest.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Teradyne-Nextest, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of test
systems, 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 Teradyne, Inc., Nextest Division,
including on-site leased workers from CDI Corporation North
America Staffing and California Robotics, San Jose,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 4, 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 1th day of December 2017.
