[TA-W-71,608]


Xilinx, Inc., Albuquerque, NM; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 8, 2010, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on December 17, 2009. The Notice of 
Determination will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that there was no increase in imports or shift/
acquisition to or from abroad by the subject firm of services like or 
directly competitive with the internal engineering services supplied by 
workers of the subject firm.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that 
Xilinx, Inc. shifted provision of engineering services to a foreign 
country and provided documentation to support their allegations.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

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 25th day of January, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
