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
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 April 25, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers of AMETEK Instrumentation Systems, Instrumentation and
Specialty Controls Division, Warrenville, Illinois. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
research and development engineering services. Workers are not
separately identifiable by function.
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 at AMETEK Instrumentation
Systems, Instrumentation and Specialty Controls Division,
Warrenville, Illinois 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 a portion of the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at AMETEK Instrumentation Systems, Instrumentation
and Specialty Controls Division, Warrenville, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AMETEK
Instrumentation Systems, Instrumentation and Specialty
Controls Division, Warrenville, Illinois who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of research and development
engineering services, 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 AMETEK Instrumentation Systems,
Instrumentation and Specialty Controls Division,
Warrenville, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 19, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of July 2019.
