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 September 6, 2019, by three workers on behalf of the
of XP Power LLC, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Blue Ribbon, and Sourced Staffing, Minden, Nevada, (herein
referred to as "XP Power LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of high-voltage power
supplies.
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 XP Power LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of XP Power LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Blue Ribbon, and
Sourced Staffing, Minden, Nevada, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of high-voltage power supplies, 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 XP Power LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Blue Ribbon, and Sourced Staffing,
Minden, Nevada, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 28, 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 1st day of December 2019.
