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 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 May 2, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by the United Steelworkers of America, Local
1187 on behalf of workers at Hewlett-Packard Company, Design
Delivery Operations, Image Permanence Lab and Engineering
Solutions and Space Planning Divisions, Corvallis, Oregon (TA-W-
61,424) and Hewlett-Packard Company, Technology Delivery
Operations, Process Development Operations Division, Corvallis,
Oregon (TA-W-61,424A). The workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of ink for printer heads and silicon
wafers for ink pen heads.
The investigation revealed that criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.A.)
and (a)(2)(B)(II.A.) have not been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not
separate or threaten to separate from either of the subdivisions
identified above, a significant number or proportion of workers
as required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Significant number or proportion of the workers in a firm or
appropriate subdivision thereof, means that at least three
workers with a workforce of fewer than 50 workers or five
percent of the workers with a workforce of 50 or more.
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 cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Hewlett-Packard Company, Design Delivery Operations, Image
Permanence Lab and Engineering Solutions and Space Planning
Divisions, Corvallis, Oregon (TA-W-61,424) and Hewlett-Packard
Company, Technology Delivery Operations, Process Development
Operations Division, Corvallis, Oregon (TA-W-61,424A) 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 21st day of June, 2007
