[TA–W–58,624] 

Fairchild Semiconductor International; 

Mountain Top, PA; Notice of Negative 

Determination on Remand 

On March 13, 2007, the United States 

Court of International Trade (USCIT) 

remanded to the Department of Labor 

for further investigation Former 

Employees of Fairchild Semiconductor 

Corp. v. United States Secretary of 

Labor (Court No. 06–00215). 

In the January 11, 2006 petition for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA), the company 

official alleged that with regards to 

‘‘discrete semiconductor devices’’ 

produced at Fairchild Semiconductor 

International, Mountaintop, 

Pennsylvania (subject firm), production 

‘‘deteriorated because of a transfer of 

production’’ abroad and that its 

customers are ‘‘purchasing similar 

devices from other suppliers with 

locations in foreign countries such as 

Korea and China.’’ AR 3–4. 

The initial investigation revealed that 

semiconductor wafers were produced at 

the subject firm during the relevant 

period, AR 27–28, 30, 42, the subject 

firm shifted semiconductor wafer 

production to China, AR 27–28, and the 

subject firm did not import 

semiconductor wafers after the shift. AR 

7, 27, 59. 

The Department did not conduct a 

customer survey because the subject 

firm exported 100% of its 

semiconductor wafers. AR 46. Thus, 

since the subject firm had no domestic 

customer base, there could be no 

increased customer imports of 

semiconductor wafers that are like or 

directly competitive with those 

produced by the subject firm. 

On February 28, 2006, the Department 

issued a negative determination 

regarding workers’ eligibility to apply 

for TAA and ATAA for those workers of 

the subject firm. AR 41. The 

Department’s Notice of determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on March 24, 2006 (71 FR 14954). AR 

55. 

By application dated March 20, 2006, 

the petitioner requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department’s 

negative determination. The request for 

reconsideration stated that the subject 

firm produces ‘‘semiconductor wafer 

chips’’ and that semiconductor wafer 

chips are like or directly competitive 

with discrete semiconductor devices. 

AR 57. 

By letter dated April 26, 2006, the 

Department dismissed the petitioner’s 

request for reconsideration, stating that 

discrete semiconductor devices are not 

like or directly competitive with 

semiconductor wafer chips and that the 

subject firm was not directly impacted 

by increased imports of semiconductor 

wafers. AR 60. The Department’s 

Dismissal of the Application for 

Reconsideration for the subject firm was 

issued on May 1, 2006. AR 63. The 

Department’s Notice of dismissal was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27292). AR 64. 

In a letter filed with the USCIT on 

June 21, 2006, the Plaintiff sought 

judicial review. In the complaint, the 

Plaintiff made several allegations, 

including that: semiconductor wafer 

production shifted to Asia, imports of 

‘‘like products’’ have increased, the shift 

of semiconductor wafer production 

abroad was due to the need to be costcompetitive, and the workers should be 

certified for TAA like their predecessors 

(workers covered by TA–W–53,335 

certification issued December 2, 2003). 

On March 13, 2007, the USCIT 

directed the Department to explain why 

the Plaintiffs should be treated 

differently from their ‘‘similarly-situated 

predecessors’’ (semiconductor devices 

producers who were certified under TAW–53,335). The USCIT also directed the 

Department to determine whether the 

subject workers are eligible to apply for 

TAA and to support the determination. 

Worker Group Covered by TA–W– 

58,624 Are Different From Workers 

Covered by TA–W–53,335 

If the subject workers ‘‘comprised 100 

percent of the remaining subdivision of 

workers covered by defendant’s 

previous certification[s]’’ as alleged in 

the complaint, issuing a negative 

determination to them may seem 

unjustified. However, characterizing the 

subject workers as members of the 

worker group certified under TA–W– 

53,335 is not accurate because the 

subject workers at issue here produced 

a different article from the article 

produced by the previous TAA-certified 

workers. 

Based on the investigation here, the 

subject workers were semiconductor 

wafer producers during the relevant 

period of the investigation under TA– 

W–58,624. The accurate 

characterization of the subject workers 

is based on the article that the subject 

firm produced during the relevant 

period of January 2005 through 

December 2005—semiconductor wafers, 

not semiconductor devices. 

As stated in the previous TA–W– 

53,335 determination, the worker group 

covered by the certification consisted of 

workers engaged in the production of 

semiconductor devices because the 

workers were not separately identifiable 

by product line. While semiconductor 

wafers were also produced at the subject 

firm during the investigation period for 

TA–W–53,335, the workers producing 

the component part (semiconductor 

wafers) were not separately identifiable 

from those workers producing the 

finished article (semiconductor 

devices). As such, workers who may 

have been producing semiconductor 

wafers used in the firm’s production of 

semiconductor devices were treated 

along with the firm’s other workers as 

‘‘workers producing semiconductor 

devices.’’ 

When the subject firm ceased 

producing semiconductor devices 

during 2003, it became engaged in the 

production of another article—
