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 10, 2017 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Trombetta, Trombetta Electronics Division, a subsidiary of
Trumpet Holdings, Inc., Malden, Massachusetts (Trombetta). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of voltage regulators and electronic power controls. Workers are
not separately identifiable by article produced.
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 Trombetta 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 a portion of production of voltage regulators
and electronic power controls to a foreign country, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Trombetta.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trombetta, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of voltage
regulators and electronic power controls, 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 Trombetta, Trombetta Electronics Division,
a subsidiary of Trumpet Holdings, Inc., Malden,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 2, 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 7th day of July 2017.
