The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2008 (73 FR 1896). The negative determination was based on the Department’s findings that the workers at the subject firm are engaged in activities related to the production of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors for the purposes of the design and development of new automotive and cellular technologies; the subject firm did not shift to a foreign country activities related to the design or the manufacturing of GaAs semiconductors; the subject firm did not import articles either like or directly competitive with GaAs semiconductors produced by the subject firm; the workers are not eligible to apply for TAA as secondary workers; and the workers’ separation was due to a shift to another domestic facility. The request for reconsideration alleged that a shift of activities to foreign countries caused the workers’ separations. The request stated that GaAs-related activity ‘‘does not apply to the NPI department at all’’ and that ‘‘Freescale Compound Semiconductor (CS1) does produce Gallium Arsenide (GaAS) wafers, but that is not an intrinsic part of the NPI function.’’ The implication is that there are two separate groups of workers at the subject firm—one that produces GaAs wafers and one that is engaged in activity not related to GaAs wafers. The request also states that ‘‘Freescale’s major customer * * * did receive product from NPI’’ and that the customer is a TAA-certified company. The request implies that NPI PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 workers are eligible to apply for TAA on a secondary basis. Information submitted by the subject firm during the initial and reconsideration information revealed that the subject firm had two separate operations: (1) CS1 Factory workers produced GaAs wafers and (2) NPI workers tested and corrected programs and package assembly processes in preparation of mass semiconductor chip assembly that would take place in foreign facilities. Based on the above information, the Department determines that the subject group includes NPI workers engaged in pre-production testing of semiconductor chips and does not include workers of CS1 Factory producing GaAs-based wafers. 19 U.S.C. section 2272 establishes that a certification of eligibility to apply for TAA, applicable to the subject worker group, shall be issued if: (1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially separated; (2) Sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and (3) Increases (absolute or relative) of imports of articles produced by such workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision thereof contributed importantly to such total or partial separation, or threat thereof, and to such decline in sales or production, or (4) There has been a shift in production by such workers’ firm or subdivision to a foreign country of articles like or directly competitive with articles which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and the country to which the workers’ firm has shifted production of the articles is a party to a free trade agreement with the United States, is a beneficiary country under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act or there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of articles that are like or directly competitive with articles which are or were produced by such firm or subdivision. Because the subject workers were engaged in pre-production research and development programs and assembly processes that would take place at foreign production facilities, the Department determines that the subject workers did not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. It follows, that, since the workers did not produce an article, they could not have been adversely affected by a shift of production or increased imports of like or directly competitive articles. Further, the reconsideration investigation revealed that the E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1
