IDT CORPORATION
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF
IDT TELECOM
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY

Negative Determination 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 in response to a petition
received on January 16, 2006 and filed on behalf of workers at
IDT Corporation, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of IDT Telecom,
Newark, New Jersey. The worker group was a call center that
provided functions related to consumer telephone services and
calling card services.
The investigation revealed that IDT Corporation, a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of IDT Telecom, Newark, New Jersey does not
produce an article within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act. 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 and there must be a relationship between
the workers' work and the article produced by the workers' firm
or appropriate subdivision. The petitioning workers of IDT
Corporation, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of IDT Telecom, Newark,
New Jersey do not support a firm or appropriate subdivision that
produces an article domestically and thus the worker group can
not be considered import impacted or affected by a shift in
production of an article.
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 assis-
tance (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
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.



Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of IDT
Corporation, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of IDT Telecom, Newark,
New Jersey 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.

Signed in Washington, D. C., this 1st day of February 2007.
