In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 7, 2010, applicable to workers of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., Hardware/Software Design and Manufacturing A, Austin, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 30070).

At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of semiconductors.
