Notice of Termination of Certification

This notice terminates the Certification Regarding Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance issued by the Department
on April 25, 2003 for all workers of Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor
Products Sector, Bipolar Manufacturing Center, Mesa, Arizona. The
notice was published in the federal Register on May 9, 2003 (FR 68
25061).
The Department, at the request of the State Agency, reviewed
this certification for workers of the aforementioned group.
The certification review revealed that signatories of the
petition were not among the certified worker group mentioned above,
but were instead part of facilities employees, charged with
maintaining plant operations. The facilities or “Site Services”
employees are eligible for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance
benefits under NAFTA-6506 as amended May 16, 2003 to include these
workers.
Since the workers of Bipolar Manufacturing Center are not
represented by all of the petitioners, the TA-W-50,260
investigation was conducted erroneously and the certification is
thus invalid. The Bipolar Manufacturing Center worker group
continues to be eligible to apply for benefits of the NAFTA-6505
Transitional Adjustment Assistance certification issued on
September 24, 2002 and in effect until September 24, 2004.
The certification issued under investigation TA-W-50,260 has
been terminated.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 27th day of June 2003

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 6, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by workers on behalf of workers of
Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Products Sector, Bipolar
Manufacturing Center, Mesa, Arizona. The workers produce pressure
sensor wafers.
The investigation revealed that production has been shifted to
Canada and layoffs have resulted at Mesa, Arizona.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers= firm or subdivision to Canada of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Products Sector,
Bipolar Manufacturing Center, Mesa, Arizona who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December 5,
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 25th day of April 2003.
