sales or production of such firm or
subdivision.
The Department has previously
determined that because the subject firm
closed on September 2005, criteria (A)
and (B) have been met. Therefore, the
only issue at hand is whether criterion
(C) has been met.
29 CFR Section 90.16(b)—
Requirements for determinations—
states, in part, that ‘‘the certifying officer
shall make findings of fact concerning
whether * * * (3) increases (absolute or
relative) of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles like or
directly competitive with articles
produced by such workers’ firm or
appropriate subdivision thereof
contributed importantly to such total or
partial separation, or threat thereof, and
to such decline in sales or production.’’
The corollary to the regulation is that
if the certifying officer finds no such
increased imports, whether or not the
absent factor ‘‘contributed importantly’’
to ‘‘such total or partial separation, or
threat thereof, and to such decline in
sales or production’’ is moot.
29 CFR Section 90.2—Definitions—
states that ‘‘Increased imports means
that imports have increased either
absolutely or relative to domestic
production compare to a representative
base period. The representative base
period shall be one year consisting of
the four quarters immediately preceding
the date which is twelve months prior
to the date of the petition.’’
Because the date of the petition is
June 5, 2006, the investigatory period is
June 2005 through May 2006 and the
representative base period is June 2004
through May 2005.
During the second remand
investigation, the Department obtained
new information that shows that when
the subject firm ceased operations in
2005, the foreign customer replaced
printed circuit boards produced by the
subject firm with those produced by a
preferred vendor. The preferred vender
is another domestic company. The new
information also shows that the printed
circuit boards supplied by the preferred
vendor was produced outside the
United States and shipped from the
foreign production facility to the foreign
customer.
The Department determines that
while the foreign customer did switch
its order from the subject firm to another
domestic vendor, the domestic vendor
that replaced the subject firm did not
import into the United States any of the
printed circuit boards it sold to the
subject firm’s foreign customer.
Because there was no finding of
increased imports of article like or

directly competitive with the printed
circuit boards produced by the subject
firm, it is moot whether or not the
‘‘contributed importantly’’ portion of
the regulation has been satisfied.
Therefore, the Department determines
that TAA criterion (C) has not been met.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the subject worker group must
be certified eligible to apply for TAA.
Since the subject workers are not
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful reconsideration, I affirm
the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of
Advanced Electronics, Inc., Boston,
Massachusetts.
Signed at Washington, DC this 19th day of
February 2009.
