FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR
FORMERLY KNOWN AS INTERSIL CORPORATION
MOUNTAINTOP, PENNSYLVANIA
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November
30, 2001, applicable to workers of Fairchild Semiconductor,
Mountaintop, Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 26, 2001 (66 FR 66428).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of computer chips.
The company reports that in March, 2001, Fairchild
Semiconductor purchased the Mountaintop, Pennsylvania location
of Intersil Corporation and is now known as Fairchild
Semiconductor, formerly known as Intersil Corporation.
Information also shows that workers separated from
employment at the subject firm, had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Fairchild
Semiconductor, formerly known as Intersil Corporation.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
determination to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department=s certification is to include
all workers of Fairchild Semiconductor, formerly known as
Intersil Corporation, Mountaintop, Pennsylvania who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,054 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Fairchild Semiconductor, formerly known
as Intersil Corporation, Mountaintop, Pennsylvania,
engaged the production of computer chips, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 2, 2000, through November 30, 2003,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 4th day of January, 2002.

Certification 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. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on September 17, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at
Fairchild Semiconductor, Mountaintop, Pennsylvania. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of computer
chips.
The investigation revealed that subject plant sales,
production and employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm is
increasing their reliance on imported computer chips from an
affiliated plant located in Korea.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with computer chips contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certifications:
"All workers at Fairchild Semiconductor, Mountaintop,
Pennsylvania, engaged in the production of computer chips,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 2, 2000 through two years from the date
of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
