CARRIER ACCESS CORPORATION
CURRENTLY KNOWN AS TURIN NETWORKS
BOULDER, COLORADO

Amended 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 (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 Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 92, 2008,
applicable to workers of Carrier Access Corporation, Boulder,
Colorado. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
January 25, 2008 (73 FR 4634).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production of telecommunication
equipment.
New information shows that on February 8, 2008, Turin
Networks purchased Carrier Access and is currently known as Turin
Networks.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to show that Carrier Access Corporation is currently known as
Turin Networks.


The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Carrier Access, currently known as Turin Networks
who were adversely affected by a shift in production of
telecommunication equipment to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,520 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Carrier Access Corporation, currently known
as Turin Networks, Boulder, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 7,
2008, through January 9, 2010, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
"All workers of Carrier Access Corporation, currently known
as Turin Networks, Boulder, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 27,
2006, through January 9, 2010, are eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”

CARRIER ACCESS CORPORATION
BOULDER, COLORADO

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 November 30, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Carrier Access Corporation, Boulder, Colorado. The
workers at the subject firm produce telecommunication equipment.
Workers of the subject facility were certified eligible to
apply for trade adjustment assistance (TA-W-58,070) through January
6, 2008. The workers of the subject facility were denied eligibly
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under that
certification.
The current investigation revealed that a significant number
or proportion of workers at the subject firm are threatened to
become separated from employment since the previous certification.
The subject firm is currently shifting production of
telecommunication equipment to Mexico, a country that is party to a
free trade agreement with the United States.
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 there has been a shift in
production from Carrier Access Corporation, Boulder, Colorado, to
Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with
telecommunication equipment produced by that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Carrier Access Corporation, Boulder, Colorado,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after January 7, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.”


"All workers of Carrier Access Corporation, Boulder, Colorado,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 27, 2006, through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.”
