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 Beaver-Visitec International, Inc., a subsidiary of
Beaver-Visitec International Holdings, Inc., Waltham,
Massachusetts ("Beaver-Visitec International, Inc."). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of specialized surgical devices primarily for the ophthalmic
market place. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from NESC Staffing Corporation, Micro Tech Staffing,
Stoughton Office of Micro Tech Staffing, Technical Needs, and
Winter Wyman.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Beaver-
Visitec International, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Beaver-Visitec
International, Inc., a subsidiary of Beaver-Visitec
International Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from NESC Staffing Corporation, Micro Tech Staffing, Stoughton
Office of Micro Tech Staffing, Technical Needs, and Winter
Wyman, Waltham, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of specialized surgical devices
primarily for the ophthalmic market place 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 Beaver-Visitec International, Inc., a
subsidiary of Beaver-Visitec International Holdings,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from NESC Staffing
Corporation, Micro Tech Staffing, Stoughton Office of
Micro Tech Staffing, Technical Needs, and Winter Wyman,
Waltham, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 28, 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 June 2017.
