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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a cer-
tification 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 deter-
mined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of Section
222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 4, 2003, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Micron Technology,
Inc., Boise and Nampa, Idaho. The workers produced dynamic random
access memory (DRAM).
The investigation revealed that workers at the subject facil-
ity produced, assembled, and performed test operations in the com-
pany's vertically integrated manufacturing of dynamic random access
memory (DRAM).
Company-wide domestic production and subject plant production
worker employment decreased in 2002 compared to 2001. Layoffs at
the subject plant occurred in February 2003.
Company imports of DRAM relative to company-wide domestic pro-
duction of DRAM increased in 2002 compared to 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investiga-
tion, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or di-
rectly competitive with dynamic random access memory (DRAM) pro-
duced at Micron Technology, Inc., Boise and Nampa, Idaho, contrib-
uted importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and
to the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the fol-
lowing certification:
"All workers of Micron Technology, Inc., Boise and Nampa,
Idaho, who became totally or partially separated from employ-
ment on or after February 21, 2002, through two years from the
date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment as-
sistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 7th day of May, 2003
