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 February 22, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Allegro Microsystems LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Sanken North America, Inc., a subsidiary of Sanken Electric
Co., LTD (Japan), Worcester, Massachusetts. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production and testing of
integrated circuits.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Allegro Microsystems LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Allegro Microsystems
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanken North America, Inc., a
subsidiary of Sanken Electric Co., LTD (Japan), Worcester,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related to the
production and testing of integrated circuits 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 Allegro Microsystems LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sanken North America, Inc., a subsidiary of
Sanken Electric Co., LTD (Japan), Worcester, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 14, 2017, 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 22nd day of March 2018.
