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 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:
(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 December 21, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at LSI Logic,
Santa Clara, California. Workers produced wafers used in
semiconductors and are not separately identifiable by product
line.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm has not imported any like or directly
competitive products in the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the wafers produced
at the subject facility are shipped to a foreign source for
further processing. The finished products that result from this
foreign processing are not like or directly competitive with
what is produced at the subject facility. Thus any imports of
the finished products are not a factor in determining the
eligibility of the worker group in this investigation.


Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of LSI
Logic, Santa Clara, California, are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 18th day of March, 2002.
