A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF AMETEK, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO
GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

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 March 20, 2020 by company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of AMETEK Instrumentation Systems,
Instrumentation System Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of
AMETEK, Inc., Grand Junction, Colorado (AMETEK-Grand
Junction). Workers of AMETEK-Grand Junction are engaged in
activities related to the production of instrumentation
controls. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Adecco.
Workers of the subject worker group are eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-93,403 (certification
expired on March 22, 2020).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in AMETEK-Grand Junction
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the instrumentation
controls produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at AMETEK-Grand Junction.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AMETEK-Grand
Junction, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of instrumentation controls, 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 AMETEK Instrumentation Systems,
Instrumentation System Division, a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Grand Junction, Colorado, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 23, 2020 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 10th day of April 2020.
