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 October 7, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Products Sector, BiPolar Manufac-
turing Center (BMC), Mesa, Arizona. The workers are engaged in
the production of pressure sensor wafers. The wafers are further
processed into finished products at various company facilities in
a number of foreign countries.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the Mesa, Arizona plant declined during the relevant period.
The subject firm does not import products like or directly
competitive with products produced at the subject plant.
Investigative findings further revealed that the specific
products produced at the Mesa plant are exported and thus not
impacted by imports.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Products Sector, BiPolar Manufac-
turing Center (BMC), Mesa, Arizona are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 25th day of November 2002.
