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.

"Firm includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in
bankruptcy, and receiver under decree of any court." 29 CFR 90.2
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 16, 2019, by a company official on behalf of
workers of American Technical Ceramics Corp., JAX division, a
subsidiary of AVX Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Remedy Staffing Agency and Randstad US, Jacksonville,
Florida ("herein referred to as American Technical Ceramics").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of thin film products - passive hybrid circuits;
single layer capacitors (SLC) products - passive electronic
components, and resistive products - passive electronic
components.
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 thin film products -
passive hybrid circuits; single layer capacitors (SLC)
products - passive electronic components, and resistive
products - passive electronic components 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., JAX division, a subsidiary of AVX Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Remedy Staffing Agency and
Randstad US, Jacksonville, Florida, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of thin film products -
passive hybrid circuits; single layer capacitors (SLC)
products - passive electronic components, and resistive
products - passive electronic components, 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., JAX
division, a subsidiary of AVX Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Remedy Staffing Agency and
Randstad US, Jacksonville, Florida who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 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 24th day of July 2019.
