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 10, 2019, by a company official on behalf of
workers of American Technical Ceramics Corp., New York Division,
a wholly owned subsidiary of AVX Corp., Huntington Station, New
York (herein referred to as "American Technical Ceramics").
Workers of American Technical Ceramics are engaged in activities
related to the production of passive electronic components -
capacitators.
The workers were previously certified eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-92,743.
The certification expired on May 9, 2019.
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 American Technical
Ceramics 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 articles
like or directly competitive with the passive electronic
components - capacitors produced by the subject workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at American
Technical Ceramics.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Technical
Ceramics Corp., New York Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of
AVX Corp., Huntington Station, New York, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of passive electronic
components - capacitators, 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 American Technical Ceramics Corp., New York
Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of AVX Corp.,
Huntington Station, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 10,
2019 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 30th day of May 2019.
