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 on April 29, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at SanDisk
Corporation, Sunnyvale, California. The workers are engaged in
the production of flash memory data storage products.
The investigation revealed sales, production, and employment
declines at the subject company during the relevant time period.
The investigation also revealed increased subject company
reliance upon import purchases of flash memory data storage
products during the relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at SanDisk
Corporation, Sunnyvale, California, contributed importantly to
the decline in sales and 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 SanDisk Corporation, Sunnyvale, California,
engaged in the production of flash memory data storage
products, who are totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 28, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 16th day of July 2002.
