Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices those seven companies who produce software which might be considered like or directly competitive with the four CSC software programs at issue: Performance Plus, JETS, Repetitive Payment System, and Vantage-One. Of the companies surveyed, none had imported software in a physical medium, and while some stated that new business opportunities were always possible, none had expressed that they were likely to import any software. Specifically, one competitor stated that it has ‘‘never used offshore resources for anything,’’ another competitor stated that their software was written ‘‘100% Stateside’’ and that there was ‘‘no intention to import anything—no software, no code’’ and a third competitor stated ‘‘no way, no how’’ that the company imports software. Because all the competitors are domestic, and none of them have increased or are likely to increase imports, it is impossible for consumers of the software code or software on a physical medium to buy an imported product ‘‘like or directly competitive’’ to CSC’s. Obviously, CSC has increased its ‘‘delivery’’ of software code to the United States, but because software code is not an article for the purposes of the Trade Act, such an increase does not qualify to make plaintiffs eligible for TAA benefits.
