[TA-W-61,601]


Intel Corporation, Fab 23; Colorado Springs, CO; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated July 14, 2007, a worker requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's Notice of Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
negative determination was issued on June 15, 2007. The Department's 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on June 
28, 2007 (72 FR 35517). Workers produce silicon wafers.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that, during the relevant period, the subject firm's sales and 
production of silicon wafers increased, and the subject firm did not 
import or shift production of silicon wafers abroad.
    A careful review of the administrative record shows that the 
subject firm increased production in order to create an inventory to 
satisfy existing customer orders in light of the scheduled plant 
closure in August 2007.
    In the request for reconsideration, the worker alleged that the 
Department misidentified the article produced at the subject firm and 
that foreign-produced articles have replaced domestic production.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the administrative record and 
the request for reconsideration, and has determined that the Department 
will conduct further investigation.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day of August 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
