INCLUDING AN EMPLOYEE OF STAKTEK GROUP L.P.
CURRENTLY KNOWN AS ENTORIAN TECHNOLOGIES L.P., AUSTIN, TEXAS
LOCATED IN POUGHQUAG, NEW YORK

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and a Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on June 7, 2006,
applicable to workers of Staktek Group L.P., Austin, Texas.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2006
(71 FR 40159).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of stacked memory chips.
New information shows that following a corporate decision,
as of March 5, 2008, Staktek Group L.P. is now known as Entorian
Technologies L.P.
Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account for Entorian Technologies L.P.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Staktek Group L.P., currently known as Entorian
Technologies L.P. who were adversely affected by a shift in
production of stacked memory chips to Mexico.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,283 and TA-W-
59,283A are hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Staktek Group L.P., currently known as
Entorian Technologies L.P., Austin, Texas (TA-W-59,283), and
including an employee located in Poughquag, New York (TA-W-
59,283A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 25, 2005, through June 7, 2008,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
I further determine that all workers of Staktek Group L.P.,
currently known as Entorian Technologies L.P., Austin, Texas
are denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of March 2008

STAKTEK GROUP L.P.
AUSTIN, TEXAS

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
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.
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 April 26, 2006, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Staktek Group L.P.,
Austin, Texas. The workers produced stacked memory chips.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in production of stacked
memory chips to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

The Department has determined that criteria 2 and 3 have not been
met. The investigation revealed that conditions within the industry
are such that the skills of the worker group are in demand in the
local area.
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 Mexico 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 Staktek Group L.P., Austin, Texas who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April 25,
2005 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974."
I further determine that all workers of Staktek Group L.P., Austin,
Texas, are denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 7th day of June, 2006
