DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-51,415]


Washington Group IDC, Manassas, VA; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On June 9, 2003, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to workers and 
former workers of the subject firm. The notice will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Washington Group 
IDC, Manassas, Virginia, because the workers did not produce an article 
within the meaning of section 222(c)(3) of the Trade Act of 1974.
    On reconsideration, the Department conducted an on-site analysis of 
the functions performed by Washington Group IDC, Manassas, Virginia 
employees at Micron Technology, Manassas, Virginia. The workers of 
Micron Technology, Manassas, Virginia (TA-W-51,231) were certified 
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on May 7, 2003.
    The on-site investigation revealed that Washington Group IDC 
workers performed a variety of functions at Micron Technology, Inc. 
Manassas, Virginia. The review revealed that in addition to facilities 
management services, a meaningful portion of their work relates to the 
production of the products (wafers) manufactured at Micron Technology. 
The workers are not separately identifiable by specific function.
    The investigation further revealed that employment and production 
at the subject facility declined during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with wafers, contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Washington Group IDC, Manassas, Virginia working at 
Micron Technology, Manassas, Virginia. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Washington Group IDC, Manassas, Virginia working 
at Micron Technology, Manassas, Virginia who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after March 27, 2002 are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 17th day of June 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
