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

The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2007
(72 FR 41088).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker separation has occurred involving
an employee of the Dallas, Texas facility of RF Monolithics, Inc.
located in Gillsville, Georgia. Ms. Elizabeth Johnson provided
sales support services for the production of electronic low-power
components that is produced at the Dallas, Texas location of the
subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of the Dallas, Texas
facility of RF Monolithics, Inc. located in Gillsville, Georgia.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of RF Monolithics, Inc., Dallas, Texas who were
adversely affected by increased company imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,705 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of RF Monolithics, Inc., Dallas, Texas
(TA-W-61,705), including an employee in support of RF

Georgia (TA-W-61,705A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 18, 2006,

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for

Certification 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.
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 June 19, 2007, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
RF Monolithics Inc., Dallas, Texas. The workers produced
electronic low-power components.
The investigation revealed that production at the subject firm
declined absolutely from January to May 2007, as compared to the
same time period the previous year; and that employment at the
subject firm declined absolutely when comparing the time period of
January to May 2007 to full year 2006.
The investigation further revealed that company reliance on
imports of electronic low-power components has increased during the
relevant period.
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 group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and do not possess skills that are easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increased reliance on imports of
articles like or directly competitive with electronic low-power
components produced by RF Monolithics Inc., Dallas, Texas
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in production and/or sales at that firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
“All workers of RF Monolithics Inc., Dallas, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 18, 2006, through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 13th day of July, 2007.
