Amphenol Backplane Systems, Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Technical Needs and National Engineering, Nashua, New Hampshire; Notice 
of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On June 22, 2013, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration applicable to workers and former workers of Amphenol 
Backplane Systems, Nashua, New Hampshire (hereafter referred to as 
either ``Amphenol'' or ``subject firm''). The subject firm is engaged 
in activities related to the production of electrical connectors and 
backplane assemblies. The subject worker group includes on-site leased 
workers from Technical Needs and National Engineering.
    Workers of the subject firm were eligible to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-70,972 (certification expired on 
November 13, 2011).
    Based on a careful review of previously-submitted information and 
additional information obtained during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that the petitioning worker 
group, including on-site leased workers from Technical Needs and 
National Engineering, has met the eligibility criteria set forth in the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers at Amphenol 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 a portion of the production of articles 
like or directly competitive with the electrical connectors and 
backplane assemblies produced by the subject worker group, which 
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Amphenol.

Conclusion

    After careful review of previously-submitted facts and the 
additional facts obtained during the reconsideration investigation, I 
determine that workers of Amphenol Backplane Systems, Nashua, New 
Hampshire, 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 Amphenol Backplane Systems, including on-site 
leased workers from Technical Needs and National Engineering, 
Nashua, New Hampshire, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after March 16, 2012, through two years from 
the date of this certification, and all workers in the group 
threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 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, DC, this 8th day of November, 2013.

Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
