HARTE-HANKS
A SUBSIDIARY OF HARTE-HANKS MARKET INTELLIGENCE
STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN

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 April 3, 2006, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Harte-Hanks, a
subsidiary of Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence, Sterling Heights,
Michigan. Workers of the subject firm were engaged in gathering
information for technology market databases.
The investigation revealed that Harte-Hanks, a subsidiary of
Harte-Hankes Market Intelligence, Sterling Heights, Michigan, 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 workers
Harte-Hanks, a subsidiary of Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence,
Sterling Heights, Michigan do 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.
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 Harte-
Hanks, a subsidiary of Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence, Sterling
Heights, Michigan are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
