DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-51,458]


Silicon Graphics, Inc., Worldwide Manufacturing Organization 
Including Leased Workers of Kelly Services, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; 
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 3, 2003, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the 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 Silicon Graphics, 
Inc., Worldwide Manufacturing Organization (WMO), Chippewa Falls, 
Wisconsin because the ``contributed importantly'' and shift of 
production group eligibility requirements of section 222(3) of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, were not met. The investigation revealed 
that neither the subject company nor its customers increased import 
purchases of computer products during the relevant period and that 
there was no shift of production.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that 
both the subject company and one of its major customers increased 
import purchases during the relevant time period.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department requested 
additional information from the subject company regarding the 
allegations.
    The investigation revealed that the subject company did not 
increase imports during the relevant time period and that sales to the 
identified customer constituted only a negligible amount of total 
subject company sales during the relevant time period.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Silicon Graphics, Inc., Worldwide 
Manufacturing Organization (WMO), Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin and 
temporary workers of Kelly Services working at the subject facility.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 12th day of December, 2003.
Elliott S. Kusner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
