Since none of the affected workers were U.S. workers they did not need to be considered for the instant filing. That being said, if we attempt to answer I.26.A NA we get a message stating that the answer must be Yes. Since we have fulfilled our obligation we are indicating Yes as an answer, and are providing further explanation of our reasoning here.
