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 July 26, 2018 by a state workforce official on behalf of
workers of Advanced Motors & Drives, a subsidiary of Nidec Motor
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from CPS
Professionals and AP Professionals, East Syracuse, New York,
(Advanced Motors & Drives). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of AC motors and DC motors.
The worker group are not separately identifiable by articles
produced by the firm.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 Advanced
Motors & Drives.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Advanced Motors &
Drives, a subsidiary of Nidec Motor Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from CPS Professionals and AP Professionals,
East Syracuse, New York, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of AC motors and DC motors, 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 Advanced Motors & Drives, a subsidiary of
Nidec Motor Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from CPS Professionals and AP Professionals, East Syracuse,
New York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 25, 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 31st day of October 2018.
