Emcore Corporation; Emcore Fiber
Optics Division; Naperville, IL; Notice
of Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated October 12,
2007, a worker requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of Emcore Corporation, Emcore
Fiber Optics Division, Naperville,
Illinois (the subject firm) to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA). The negative
determination was issued on September
28, 2007. On October 12, 2007, the
Department’s Notice of negative
determination was published in the
Federal Register (72 FR 58131). Workers
at the subject firm design, assemble,
test, troubleshoot, disassemble, and
repair LX4 digital fiber optic
components for semiconductors.
Workers are not separately identifiable
by product.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that after
the subject firm shifted production of
digital fiber optic components to
Thailand, the subject firm did not
import and did not intend to import
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm.
In the request for reconsideration, the
worker alleges that production of digital
fiber optic components shifted from the
subject firm to Thailand and that the
shift of production was followed by
increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those
produced at the subject firm.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
administrative reconsideration may be
granted under the following
circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake

in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration and previously
submitted materials, the Department
determines that there is no new
information that supports a finding that
there was a shift of production to a
country that is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States or a
country that is named as a beneficiary
under the Andean Trade Preference Act,
the African Growth and Opportunity
Act, or the Caribbean Basin Economic
Recovery Act.
Thailand does not have a free trade
agreement with the United States and is
not a party to any of the previouslyidentified Acts.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration and previously
submitted materials, the Department
also determines that there is no new
information that supports a finding that
there were increased imports (actual or
likely) of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by the
subject firm following the subject firm’s
shift of production abroad, and that
there was no mistake or
misinterpretation of the facts or of the
law regarding the Department’s initial
determination that the subject workers
are not eligible to apply for TAA and
ATAA.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of
November 2007.

Adjustment Assistance.

Emcore Corporation; Emcore Fiber Optics Division; Naperville, IL;
Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated October 12, 2007, a worker requested
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative
determination regarding eligibility for workers and former workers of
Emcore Corporation, Emcore Fiber Optics Division, Naperville, Illinois
(the subject firm) to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The negative
determination was issued on September 28, 2007. On October 12, 2007,
the Department's Notice of negative determination was published in the
Federal Register (72 FR 58131). Workers at the subject firm design,
assemble, test, troubleshoot, disassemble, and repair LX4 digital fiber
optic components for semiconductors. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The negative determination was based on the Department's findings
that after the subject firm shifted production of digital fiber optic
components to Thailand, the subject firm did not import and did not
intend to import articles like or directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm.
In the request for reconsideration, the worker alleges that
production of digital fiber optic components shifted from the subject
firm to Thailand and that the shift of production was followed by
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with those
produced at the subject firm.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), administrative reconsideration may be
granted under the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a mis-
interpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
After careful review of the request for reconsideration and
previously submitted materials, the Department determines that there is
no new information that supports a finding that there was a shift of
production to a country that is a party to a free trade agreement with
the United States or a country that is named as a beneficiary under the
Andean Trade Preference Act, the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or
the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act.
Thailand does not have a free trade agreement with the United
States and is not a party to any of the previously-identified Acts.
After careful review of the request for reconsideration and
previously submitted materials, the Department also determines that
there is no new information that supports a finding that there were
increased imports (actual or likely) of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by the subject firm following the
subject firm's shift of production abroad, and that there was no
mistake or misinterpretation of the facts or of the law regarding the
Department's initial determination that the subject workers are not
eligible to apply for TAA and ATAA.
Conclusion
After review of the application and investigative findings, I
conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law
or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department
of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of November 2007.
