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 November 10, 2015 by three workers on behalf of
workers of ARM, Inc., a subsidiary of ARM Holding plc,
Development and Solutions Group, Olympia, Washington (ARM,
Inc.). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of engineering services related to semiconductor
Internet protocols (hereafter referred to as "development
solutions services"). The subject worker group includes on-site
workers from The Creative Group.
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 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 the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at ARM, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ARM, Inc., a
subsidiary of ARM Holding plc, Development and Solutions
Group, including on-site leased workers from The Creative
Group, Olympia, Washington, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of development solutions services 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 ARM, Inc., a subsidiary of ARM Holding
plc, Development and Solutions Group, including on-site
leased workers from The Creative Group, Olympia,
Washington, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 9, 2014 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 26th day of April 2016.
