Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on April 9, 2001 in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Conexant, Inc., TTM Module Systems, El Paso, Texas. The workers produce printed circuit boards and other electronic assemblies.

The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
This investigation revealed that worker separations are attributable to the termination of a production contract with a major domestic customer who is now producing the same article at other manufactories, located domestically.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 4700). A decision on that petition will be made concurrently with this determination.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Conexant, Inc., TTM Module Systems, El Paso, Texas are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 25th day of September 2001.
