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 February 6, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Spang Engineered Solutions, Magnetics Division, a
subsidiary of Spang & Company, Phoenix, Arizona ("Spang
Engineered Solutions"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of power inductors,
differential inductors, PFC chokes, power transformers, common
mode filters, current transformers, flyback transformers, line
filters, reactors, custom components and finished assemblies
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Corporate Job Bank.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Spang
Engineered Solutions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Spang Engineered
Solutions, Magnetics Division, a subsidiary of Spang &
Company, including on-site leased workers from Corporate Job
Bank, Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of power inductors, differential inductors, PFC
chokes, power transformers, common mode filters, current
transformers, flyback transformers, line filters, reactors,
custom components and finished assemblies 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 Spang Engineered Solutions, Magnetics
Division, a subsidiary of Spang & Company, including on-
site leased workers from Corporate Job Bank, Phoenix,
Arizona, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 5, 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 28th day of February 2020.
