DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-51,655]


Timeplex, LLC, a Division of Platinum Equity Holdings, 
Hackensack, NJ; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 21, 2003, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2003 (68 FR 70838-
70839).
    On June 10, 2003 the Department initially denied TAA to workers of 
Timeplex, LLC, a division of Platinum Equity Holdings, Hackensack, New 
Jersey producing telecommunications equipment because the ``contributed 
importantly'' group eligibility requirement of section 222 of the Trade 
Act of 1974 was not met.
    On reconsideration, the department surveyed customers of the 
subject plant regarding their purchases of telecommunications equipment 
during 2001, 2002, and January through May of 2003 over the 
corresponding period in 2002. The survey revealed that major declining 
customer(s) increased their imports of telecommunications equipment, 
while decreasing their purchases from the subject plant 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 telecommunications equipment, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of Timeplex, LLC, a division of Platinum 
Equity Holdings, Hackensack, New Jersey. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

All workers of Timeplex, LLC, a division of Platinum Equity 
Holdings, Hackensack, New Jersey who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after April 28, 2002 through two 
years of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 12th day of February 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
