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
eligibility 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 24, 2001, and filed by the company on
behalf of workers at Zilog, Inc., Probe Manufacturing (TA-W-
40,079) and Mod III Manufacturing (TA-W-40,079A) divisions,
Nampa, Idaho. The workers were engaged in the in the final
testing and inspection of the integrated circuits.


The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that company imports
of integrated circuits increased absolutely during the relevant
period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance has been filed by the company on behalf of
workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5277).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with integrated circuits produced by
Zilog, Inc., Probe Manufacturing and Mod III Manufacturing
divisions, Nampa, Idaho, 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 certification:








"All workers of Zilog, Inc., Probe Manufacturing (TA-W-40,079)
and Mod III Manufacturing (TA-W-40,079A) divisions, Nampa,
Idaho, engaged in employment related to in the final testing
and inspection of the integrated circuits, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 31,
2001, through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 14th day of June, 2002.
