Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,
an investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed by
a company official on April 8, 2010 on behalf of workers of
Applied Materials, Inc., Quality and Reliability Division, Santa
Clara, California.
During the course of the investigation, the Department was
informed by the petitioner that when the petition was filed, he
was not an official of the subject firm. Further, the petition
did not meet the requirements of a worker-filed petition (three
signatures of three workers from the same firm at the same
location).
The Department has determined that the petition is invalid.
Consequently, the investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 18th day of May, 2010
