SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

During the legislative approval 

process for the CAFTA–DR, the 

Administration and the Congress 

reached an understanding on the need 

to support labor capacity-building 

efforts linked to recommendations 

identified in the White Paper of the 

Working Group of the Vice Ministers 

Responsible for Trade and Labor in the 

countries of Central America and the 

Dominican Republic. A total of $130 

million was appropriated in support of 

labor and environment capacitybuilding in FY 2005 through FY 2008, 

with an additional $40 million 

anticipated for FY 2009. 

Areas of focus were identified through 

a cooperative process and dialogue 

between the United States and its 

CAFTA–DR partners (Costa Rica, the 

Dominican Republic, El Salvador, 

Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) as 

envisaged by the Labor Chapter and 

Annex 16.5 of the CAFTA–DR. The 

multi-year assistance effort focuses on 

building the capacity of the ministries of 

labor to more effectively enforce labor 

laws, training labor inspectors, 

developing and distributing public 

awareness materials, assessing the 

information technology needs of the 

ministries of labor, and providing 

technical assistance to the labor justice 

system in Central America and the 

Dominican Republic. 

For more information on these 

initiatives, see the full text of the 

CAFTA–DR and the White Paper as well 

as other relevant fact sheets and reports 

posted on the respective Web sites of

Implementation Act, 19 U.S.C.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–58,624] 

Fairchild Semiconductor International, 

Including On-Site Leased Workers 

From Manpower, Inc., Mountain Top, 

PA; Amended Revised Determination 

on Remand 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the 

Department of Labor (Department) 

issued a Notice of Revised 

Determination on Remand on July 22, 

2008. The Department’s Notice of 

determination will soon be published in 

the Federal Register. 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the Revised 

Determination on Remand for workers 

of the subject firm. The Department 

determined that, while the July 22, 2008 

certification set the impact date at 

January 11, 2005, one year prior to the 

date on the petition, the previous 

certification covering workers of the 

Mountain Top, Pennsylvania location of 

the subject firm, TA–W–53,335, did not 

expire until almost 11 months later, on 

December 2, 2005. To avoid an overlap 

in worker group coverage for the 

Mountain Top, Pennsylvania location, 

the Revised Determination on Remand 

is being amended to change the impact 

date from January 11, 2005 to December 

3, 2005. 

As a result of this amendment, 

Fairchild Semiconductor International, 

Mountain Top, Pennsylvania workers 

separated between January 11, 2005 and 

December 2, 2005, will continue to be 

covered under the certification issued in 

TA–W–53,335, and will not be covered 

under the certification issued in TA–W–

58,624. 

New information also provided by the 

State agency shows that leased workers 

of Manpower, Inc. were employed onsite at the Mountain Top, Pennsylvania 

location of Fairchild Semiconductor 

International. The Department has 

determined that these workers were 

engaged in various support activities 

and were sufficiently under the control 

of the subject firm to be considered 

leased workers during the relevant 

period. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending the Revised Determination on 

Remand to reflect the amended 

certification period and to include all 

on-site workers under the control of 

Fairchild Semiconductor International 

who were adversely affected. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–58,624 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Fairchild Semiconductor 

International, Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, 

who became totally or partially separated 

from employment on or after December 3, 

2005, through July 22, 2010, are eligible to 

apply for adjustment 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’’; and 

‘‘All leased workers of Manpower, Inc. 

working on-site at Fairchild Semiconductor 

International, Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, 

who became totally or partially separated 

from employment on or after January 11, 

2005, through July 22, 2010, are eligible to 

apply for adjustment 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 at Washington, DC, this 6th day of 

August 2008.
