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 18, 2018 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Infinite Electronics International, Inc., Hayden Idaho
Division, (formerly known as Transtector Systems, Smiths
Microwave Telecoms Division), including on-site leased workers
from Provisional Recruiting & Staffing, Express Employment
Professionals, and Humanix, Hayden, Idaho (Infinite
Electronics International, Inc.)
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of RF and data line surge suppression products.
The subject firm was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-91,694
(certification expired on May 6, 2018). The afore-mentioned
certification did not include on-site leased workers from
Provisional Recruiting & Staffing.
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 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 Infinite Electronics International, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Infinite Electronics
International, Inc., Hayden Idaho Division, (formerly known as
Transtector Systems, Smiths Microwave Telecoms Division),
including on-site leased workers from Provisional Recruiting &
Staffing, Express Employment Professionals, and Humanix,
Hayden, Idaho, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of RF and data line surge suppression products, 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 Infinite Electronics International, Inc.,
Hayden Idaho Division, (formerly known as Transtector
Systems, Smiths Microwave Telecoms Division), including on-
site leased workers from Express Employment Professionals
and Humanix, Hayden, Idaho (TA-W-93,822), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 7, 2018 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.
AND
All workers of Provisional Recruiting & Staffing, working
as leased workers on-site at Infinite Electronics
International, Inc., Hayden Idaho Division, (formerly
known as Transtector Systems, Smiths Microwave Telecoms
Division), Hayden, Idaho (TA-W-93,822A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after May 17,
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 12th day of June 2018.
