Tewksbury, MA; Texas Instruments,
Dallas, TX; Matheson Tr-Gas Inc.,
Basking Ridge, NJ, have been added as
parties to this venture.
Also, Texas Instruments, Inc., Dallas,
TX; Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.,
Austin, TX; Infineon Technologies AG,
Dresden, Germany; Qimonda AG,
Dresden, Germany; and Advanced
Technology Development Facility, Inc.,
Austin, TX, have withdrawn as parties
to this venture.
Additionally, International
SEMATECH has begun to recruit and
admit program members that only join
certain discrete projects and thus only
have access to information and
intellectual property created under the
discrete projects that these lower-tiered
members join. Hence, International
SEMATECH has four new classes of
membership in addition to its
traditional core membership: (1)
Program—includes integrated circuit
manufacturers, semiconductor design
companies, and assembly and packaging
companies that choose to pay for and
receive information and other
intellectual property developed in any
of Sematech’s technical divisions; (2)
Associate—includes companies that
design, test, make, market, or support
materials, equipment, processes,
software, systems, or facilities for
manufacturing semiconductors and that
pay for and receive access to
information and other intellectual
property that arise under discrete
Sematech-led projects; (3) Extreme
Ultraviolet Lithography Mask
Infrastructure (‘‘EMI’’)—includes among
its members integrated circuit
manufacturers and semiconductor mask
makers; and (4) 3D Enablement Center—
created to finance and conduct research
related to three dimensional (3D)
interconnect technologies, which the
chip manufacturing and design
industries perceive to be a means
available to extend Moore’s law without
the enormous expense associated with
development of new lithographic
technologies.
International SEMATECH created a
new subsidiary called International
Sematech Manufacturing Initiative, Inc.
(‘‘ISMI’’), which is also a Delaware
501(c)(6) membership corporation
organized to finance and conduct
research and development related to
solving semiconductor manufacturing
problems. ISMI’s emphasis is on solving
today’s semiconductor manufacturing
challenges such as enhancing
semiconductor manufacturing
equipment productivity, contributing to
increased automation in the operation of
semiconductor fabrication facilities
(‘‘fabs’’) and reducing fabs’ electricity

and water consumption. Sematech
created the 450 LLC to finance and
conduct research and development
necessary to catalyze the introduction
into the marketplace of semiconductor
manufacturing equipment capable of
handling silicon wafers with a diameter
of 450mm. The purpose of the 450 LLC
is to aggregate funds from integrated
circuit manufacturers to finance and
participate in this endeavor.
No other changes have been made in
either the membership or planned
activity of the group research project.
Membership in this group research
project remains open, and International
SEMATECH intends to file additional
written notifications disclosing all
changes in membership.
On April 22, 1988, International
SEMATECH filed its original
notification pursuant to Section 6(a) of
the Act. The Department of Justice
published a notice in the Federal
Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the
Act on May 19, 1988 (53 FR 17987).
The last notification was filed with
the Department on June 16, 2003. A
notice was published in the Federal
Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the
Act on August 4, 2003 (68 FR 45855).

Automotive Technology and Research
Center (CATARC), Tianjin, People’s
Republic of China; and Shanghai EPropulsion Auto Technology Co., Ltd.,
Shanghai, People’s Republic of China.
The general area of EssEs’s planned
activity is to develop detailed cell level
data on current or near market
technology across a meaningfully
diverse number of manufacturers to
allow a relative comparison between
available technologies. The program
will provide performance, life, abuse
and consistency of manufacturing test
data for member-selected systems in a
private, independent third party
laboratory format (nongovernmental).
This will provide members with data
required to assess the pertinent
performance characteristics of various
battery topologies, chemistries and
manufacturers to assist in the selection
of cells for a vehicular energy storage
system. Additionally, the level of data
and the detail in which it is provided
will be sufficient to aid in the
development of models, pack
integration work and thermal
management strategy development.

At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that workers leased
from Snider-Blake Personnel employed
on-site at the Columbus, Ohio location
of Nexergy, Inc. had their wages
reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax
account under the name Western
Services, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending this certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by actual/likely increase in
imports following a shift abroad.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–80,076 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Nexergy, Inc., including onsite leased workers from ACT–I Staffing,
Kelly Services and Snider-Blake Personnel,
including workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages are reported through
Western Services, Inc., Columbus, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 28, 2010,
through June 14, 2013, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible
to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
