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 September 3, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Forem USA, a
division of Allen Telecom, Inc., Sparks, Nevada. The workers
produce wireless base station subsystems and components and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.


The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not
import wireless base station subsystems and/or components during
2000, 2001, or in January through August 2001 and 2002.
Furthermore, a Department of Labor survey of the subject
firm's customers revealed no imports of wireless base station
subsystems and/or components during the relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Forem
USA, a division of Allen Telecom, Inc., Sparks, Nevada, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 4TH day of October, 2002.
