Negative Determination 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 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. The group eligibility
requirements for directly-impacted (primary) workers under Section
222(a) the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, can be satisfied in
either of two ways:
I. Section (a)(2)(A) all of the following must be satisfied:
A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
B. the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
C. increased imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by such firm or
subdivision have contributed importantly to such workers'
separation or threat of separation and to the decline in
sales or production of such firm or subdivision; or



II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the following must be satisfied:

A. a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
B. there has been a shift in production by such workers' firm
or subdivision to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with articles which are produced by
such firm or subdivision; and

C. One of the following must be satisfied:
1. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States;
2. the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a beneficiary country
under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African Growth
and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin Economic
Recovery Act; or
3. there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced
by such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated on June 6, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by workers at the International Uranium (USA)
Corporation, a subsidiary of International Uranium Corporation,
White Mesa Mill, Blanding, Utah. The workers produced uranium
concentrates.
The investigation revealed that criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.C)
and(a)(2)(B)(II. B) have not been met.
The investigation did not reveal the nature of sales and
production, because recovery operations of uranium concentrates
were not in operation since 2001 and workers have been engaged in
recycling and storing uranium bearing waste products.
The investigation revealed that worker separations at the
subject firm are not attributable to increases in imports or a
shift in production to a foreign country, but rather are
attributable to a change in the company's uranium recovery source
from ores to uranium bearing waste products. Currently the subject
firm is lacking the waste material with which to operate the
subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
International Uranium (USA) Corporation, a subsidiary of
International Uranium Corporation, White Mesa Mill, Blanding, Utah,
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 18th day of June 2003.
