Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December
2, 2004, applicable to workers of Sun Microsystems, World Wide
Operations Division, Building 10, Newark, California. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on December 22, 2004 (69 FR
76785).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production of computer data storage
trays.
New information shows that the decision document issued by
the Department on December 2, 2004 did not correctly identify the
worker group name of the subject firm. Therefore, the Department
is amending this certification to correctly identify the subject
firm name to read Sun Microsystems, Sun Storage Trays and
Systems, Building 10, Newark, California.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers employed at Sun Microsystems, Sun Storage Trays and
Systems, who were adversely affected by a shift in production to,
and subsequent import from, the United Kingdom.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-55,879 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Sun Microsystems, Sun Storage Trays and
Systems, Building 10, Newark, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 25, 2003, through December 2, 2006, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), 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
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 October 27, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Sun Microsystems, World
Wide Operations Division, Building 10, Newark, California. The
workers at the subject firm produce computer data storage trays.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject division decreased absolutely upon
closure of the subject firm in June 2004.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed the preponderance of
declines in employment at the subject firm is related to a shift in
production of computer storage arrays to the United Kingdom.
Moreover, the investigation revealed that imports of computer
data storage trays are likely to increase.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive those produced at the subject firm
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Sun Microsystems, World Wide Operations
Division, Building 10, Newark, California who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October 25,
2003 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974.”
