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 December 3, 2019 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of the workers of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Human
Resource department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-95,437) and Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation, R&D department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-
W-95,437A) hereafter referred as ("Lattice Semiconductor
Corporation").

The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of human resource and compensation and benefits services
(TA-W-95,437) and product research development and design services
(TA-W-95,437A).

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm

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 (directly or indirectly) the
supply of services like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Lattice Semiconductor Corporation.

Conclusion

After careful review of workers of Lattice Semiconductor
Corporation, Human Resource department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-
W-95,437) and Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, R&D department,
Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-95,437A) who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of human resources and compensation and
benefits services and product research development and design
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 Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Human
Resource department, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-95,437) and
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, R&D department,
Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-95,437A) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 2,
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."
