[TA-W-50,314]


Electroglas, Inc. Including Leased Workers of Advanced Technical 
Resources San Jose, CA; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration--Business Confidential

    By application of March 25, 2003, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to the workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on January 31, 2003, based on the finding that imports of wafer 
probers did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the San 
Jose plant. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register on 
February 24, 2003 (68 FR 8619).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 
additional information to supplement that which was gathered during the 
initial investigation. Upon further review and contact with the 
company, it was revealed that the company increased their imports of 
wafer probers, contributing significantly to the layoffs 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 those produced at Electroglas, Inc., San 
Jose, California, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or 
production and to the total or partial separation of workers at the 
subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    All workers of Electroglas, Inc., including leased workers of 
Advanced Technical Resources, San Jose, California, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 
9, 2001 through two years from the date of this certification, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed in Washington, DC this 14th day of July 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
