Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on February 1, 2005, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of G E Engine
Services-Dallas, LP, Dallas, Texas. The workers are engaged in
the overhauling of jet engines for commercial airlines.
The investigation revealed that G E Engine Services-Dallas,
LP, Dallas, Texas neither produces an article nor performs
activities related to production of an article at an affiliated
facility within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. In
order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the
worker group seeking certification must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must
be a relationship between the workers' work and the article
produced by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The
petitioning worker group seeking certification does not support
a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an article and
thus the worker group can not be considered import impacted or
affected by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA). Since the workers are denied eligibility to apply for
TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.









Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of G E
Engine Services-Dallas, LP, Dallas, Texas are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 7th day of March, 2005.
