Microsemi Corporation, Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
Duran Hcp, Allentown, Pennsylvania, Microsemi Corporation, Including 
On-Site Leased Workers From Duran Human Capital, Superior Group, and 
Clearpath, San Jose, California; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On October 10, 2014, the Department of Labor (Department) issued an 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration 
applicable to workers and former workers of Microsemi Corporation, 
including on-site leased workers from Duran HCP, Allentown, 
Pennsylvania (TA-W-85,293). The workers are engaged in activities 
related to the production of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) 
products and related software (including design and testing of these 
products).
    At the request of the subject firm, the Department also 
investigated an affiliated facility in San Jose, California (TA-W-
85,293A) during the reconsideration investigation. Workers at the San 
Jose, California facility are also engaged in activities related to the 
production of FPGA products and related software (including design and 
testing of these products).
    The worker group at the San Jose, California facility includes on-
site leased workers from Duran Human Capital, Superior Group, and 
ClearPath.
    Based on a careful review of previously-submitted information and 
additional information obtained during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that the worker groups at the 
Allentown, Pennsylvania and San Jose, California facilities have 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 in both the Allentown, Pennsylvania and San 
Jose, California facilities of the subject 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 employment decline is 
related to the subject firm's shift in production of FPGA products and 
related software to a foreign country and there has been or is likely 
to be an increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles.
    In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``Act''), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents the results 
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
    The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under 
Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if the 
following criteria are met:
    (I) Whether a significant number of workers in the workers' firm 
are 50 years of age or older;
    (II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills that 
are not easily transferable; and
    (III)The competitive conditions within the workers' industry (i.e., 
conditions within the industry are adverse).
    Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a significant 
number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years of age or older. 
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers in the 
workers' firm possess skills that are not easily transferrable. Section 
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because conditions within the 
workers' industry are adverse.

Corporation, Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-85,293) and San Jose, 
California (TA-W-85,293A), meet the worker group certification criteria

with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. Sec.  2273, I make the following
