ANDREWS CENTER
TYLER, TEXAS
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 July 29, 2005, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Andrews Center, Tyler,
Texas. Workers at the subject firm provide services at the
community mental health center.
The investigation revealed that Andrews Center, Tyler, Texas
does not produce an article 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 (or on whose behalf
certification is being sought) 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 subject firm
does not support a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an
article domestically and thus the worker group can not be
considered import impacted or affected by a shift in production of
an article.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Andrews Center,
Tyler, Texas are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
