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 in response to a petition
received on April 15, 2002, filed on behalf of workers at Schlum-
bergerSema, Inc., San Carlos, California. The workers were
engaged in the production of printed circuit boards. A petition
for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been filed on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA – 6169). A decision
on that petition will be made concurrently with this determina-
tion.
This investigation revealed that all of the printed circuit
boards produced at SchlumbergerSema, Inc., San Carlos, California
go to sister plants within the structure of SchlumbergerSema,
Inc., a vertically integrated company. None of the product is
sold to outside customers. The investigation further revealed
that Schlumberger-Sema, Inc., San Carlos, California, did not
import articles that were like or directly competitive with the
articles produced at the subject plant; nor did the subject firm
shift production to Canada or Mexico, or any other foreign
country.









Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
SchlumbergerSema, Inc., San Carlos, California are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of July, 2002.
