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 January 23, 2020 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers and former workers of CalAmp Wireless Networks
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Select
Temporaries, Oxnard, California (CalAmp-Oxnard). Workers of
CalAmp-Oxnard are engaged in activities related to the
production of GPS products. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product line. The Oxnard, California facility
has permanently ceased production.

The petition alleges that a shift of production to a
foreign country has contributed importantly to worker
separations at CalAmp-Oxnard.

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

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in CalAmp-Oxnard 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of a(n)
article like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CalAmp-Oxnard.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CalAmp-Oxnard 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 CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Select Temporaries,
Oxnard, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 22, 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 11th day of February, 2021
