[TA-W-55,357]

 
Sanmina-Sci Corporation, Printed Ciruit Board Division, 
Wilmington, MA; Notice of Revised Determination of Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on Reconsideration

    By letter dated September 14, 2004, a duly authorized 
representative of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) for workers of the subject firm. The Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA) certification for workers of Sanmina-SCI Corporation, 
Printed Circuit Board Division, Wilmington, Massachusetts was signed on 
August 13, 2004. The Department's notice will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    The initial investigation determined that while at least five 
percent of the workforce at the subject firm is at least fifty years of 
age, workers of the subject worker group possess skills that are easily 
transferable.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers do not 
possess skills that are easily transferable to comparable positions 
within the local commuting area and that competitive conditions within 
the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    ``All workers of at Sanmina-SCI Corporation, Printed Circuit 
Board Division, Wilmington, Massachusetts, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after July 30, 2003 
through August 13, 2006, 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 in Washington, DC this 22nd day of September 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
