Agere Systems, Inc. Formerly DBA Cirent Semiconductor, a Subsidiary of Lucent Technologies, Orlando, Florida; Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, an investigation was initiated on August 5, 2002 in response to a worker petition, which was filed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union, Local 2000 on behalf of workers at Agere Systems, Inc., formerly doing business as Cirent Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Lucent Technologies, Orlando, Florida.

The petition review showed that it was a photocopy of the February 15, 2002, petition that resulted in a negative determination for workers of Agere Systems, Inc. on March 11, 2002 (TA-W-40,234). No new information was presented which would result in a reversal of the Department's previous determination. Consequently, further investigation in this case would serve no purpose; and the investigation has been terminated.
