INCOME TAXES	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES We conduct business globally, and as a result, report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. Our reported tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate in all reported periods as the income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions are generally lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate. The reported income tax benefit rate for the nine months ended December 26, 2015 was 3.8%, as compared to a reported income tax provision rate of 7.8% for the nine months ended December 27, 2014. The change in our reported tax rate for the nine months ending December 26, 2015 relates primarily to the impact of impairment charges recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. During the three and nine months ended December 26, 2015, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $66.3 million and intangible asset impairment charges of $18.7 million with a corresponding $7.1 million benefit to income taxes. During the nine months ended December 26, 2015, we recorded pre-tax losses in Scotland, Italy and Malaysia due to restructuring and transformation costs associated with our manufacturing transformation, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to the valuation allowance maintained against our net deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions. Similarly, during the nine months ended December 27, 2014, we recorded pre-tax losses in Scotland, Italy and Malaysia associated with restructuring costs, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to uncertainty around our ability to realize a tax benefit in these jurisdictions. In addition, we recorded discrete tax benefits during the three months ended December 26, 2015 associated with the release of tax reserves due to the expiration of the statute of limitations as well as the retroactive enactment of the U.S. federal research credit. We recorded tax expense of $1.0 million during the nine months ended December 26, 2015 as a result of a deferred tax rate change which impacted an indefinite-lived deferred tax liability of our Puerto Rican subsidiary. We are in a three year cumulative loss position in the U.S. and, accordingly, maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. We also maintain a valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets which we have concluded are not more-likely-than-not realizable.
