Negative Determinations Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade 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 investigation was initiated on April 26, 2005 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Integrated Device
Technology, Inc., Santa Clara, California. Workers of the subject
group provided information technology support services at the
corporate administrative center.
In order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose behalf certification is
being sought) must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article domestically and there must be a direct
relationship between the workers' work and the article produced by
the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision.
The investigation revealed that although production of an
article occurred at affiliated facilities of the subject firm, the
workers in Santa Clara were not in direct support of that
production.
Furthermore, the work performed by the subject worker group
was moved overseas. A shift of services abroad is not a basis for
TAA certification.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers can
not be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Santa Clara, California are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974.
