AVX Corporation, Subsidiary of Kyocera Corporation, Including On-
Site Leased Workers of Express Personnel Services, Raleigh, NC; Notice 
of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated April 25, 2005, the United Steel Workers of 
America, Local 1028T requested administrative reconsideration regarding 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of 
the subject firm. The negative determination was signed on March 25, 
2005, and amended on April 25, 2005, and will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    The workers of AVX Corporation, subsidiary of Kyocera Corporation, 
including on-site leased workers of Express Personnel Services, 
Raleigh, North Carolina were certified eligible to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on March 25, 2005.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    The petitioner provided additional information regarding the skills 
of the workers of the subject firm and the current situation in the 
electronics industry in the local area.
    Upon further contacts with the company official it was confirmed 
that the skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily 
transferable in the local commuting area.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. Competitive 
conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of AVX Corporation, subsidiary of Kyocera 
Corporation, including on-site leased workers of Express Personnel 
Services, Raleigh, North Carolina, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after March 8, 2004

assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also 
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under 
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 29th day of April, 2005.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
