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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 21, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Beamreach Solar, Inc., Milpitas, California. The
petitioning worker group was incorrectly cited residing within
San Francisco, California. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of photovoltaic solar
modules.
The investigation revealed that on November 21, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found pursuant to section 202(b)
of the Trade Act of 1974 that crystalline silicon photovoltaic
cells are being imported into the United States in such
increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious
injury to the domestic industry, including Beamreach Solar,
Inc., Milpitas, California, producing an article like or
directly competitive with the imported article. A petition has
been filed on behalf of workers of Beamreach Solar, Inc.,
Milpitas, California. That firm was publicly identified by name
by the International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in a category of
determination that is listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(e). In addition, that determination was published
in the Federal Register on November 21, 2017, which is within
one year of the date of the petition filed requesting Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Beamreach Solar,
Inc., Milpitas, California, engaged in activities related to the
production of photovoltaic solar modules meet the requirements
of Section 222(e) of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, I make the following certification:










"All workers of Beamreach Solar, Inc., Milpitas,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
that employment on or after November 21, 2016, through the
date of the certification and who become totally or
partially separated from that employment from the date of
the certification through November 21, 2018, 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 17th day of December 2017.
