American Microsystems, Inc., Testing Division, Pocatello, Idaho; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On November 9, 1994, the Department, at the request of the company 
reopened its investigation for the workers and former workers of the 
subject firm in Pocatello, Idaho. The initial investigation resulted in 
a negative determination July 7, 1994 because the workers who produce 
semiconductors did not meet the decreased sales or production criterion 
of the Trade Act. The negative determination was published in the 
Federal Register on July 26, 1994 (59 FR 37996).
    Findings on reopening show that an appropriate subdivision of the 
subject firm was adversely affected by increased imports. The Testing 
Division has decreased production and employment in 1994. Other 
findings show that the testing operation is gradually being transferred 
offshore and the tested products (chips and wafers) are imported back 
to the company. The shutdown process is expected to be completed by 
March 1995.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with the chips and wafers tested by the Testing Division of 
American Microsystems, Inc., contributed importantly to the decline in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
at the Testing Division of the subject facility. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised 
determination:

    All workers and former workers of the Testing Division of 
American Microsystems, Inc., Pocatello, Idaho who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after May 25, 1993 are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of November 1994.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
