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 April 12, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of the workers at Siemens
ICN, Lake Mary, Florida. The workers produced internet access
equipment.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.


The investigation revealed that from 2000 through 2001 and
also from January through April 2001 to January through April
2002 the subject firm did not import modems.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customer(s) regarding purchases of modems in 2000, 2001 and the
January through April months of 2001 and 2002. The survey
revealed no import purchases of modems.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at
Siemens ICN, Lake Mary, Florida are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 27th day of February 2003.
