Motorola Ceramic Products, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Remand

    The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT), on January 
17, 2001, granted the Secretary of Labor's motion for voluntary remand 
for further investigation of the negative determination in Former 
Employees of Motorola Ceramic Products v. Herman (Court Nos. 99-06-
00367 and 99-07-00393).
    The Department's initial denial of the petition for employees of 
Motorola Ceramic Products was issued on February 18, 1999 and published 
in the Federal Register on April 6, 1999 (64 FR 16752). The denial was 
based on the fact that criterion (3) of the Group Eligibility 
Requirements of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was 
not met. The work was transferred to China and that there were no 
imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by 
the workers at the subject firm.
    On February 28, 1999, the petitioner requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's denial, which also resulted in 
affirmation of the initial negative decision. The determination was 
issued on May 24, 1999, and published in the Federal Register on June 
16, 1999 (64 FR 32275).
    On remand, the Department reviewed the previous TAA investigation 
applicable to workers of the subject firm producing ceramic filters, 
TA-W-32,889, which expired January 7, 1999. The Department obtained new 
information regarding the manufacturing process for the RF filters 
produced by workers of the firm. The investigation on remand revealed 
that the company increased imports of articles like the RF filters 
produced at the Albuquerque, New Mexico, plant.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on remand, I 
conclude there were increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Trade Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Motorola Ceramic Products, Albuquerque, New 
Mexico, who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after January 8, 1999, through two years from the issuance of 
this revised determination, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 23rd day of February 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
