Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 5, 2006 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Intelliden
Inc., Colorado Springs, Colorado. The workers produce computer
network software used by customers to increase network
efficiency, accelerate activation and improve security.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject facility both declined in late 2006.
The subject firm has increased imports of computer network
software during the period under investigation contributing to
the separations.
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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that
the Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act
are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).
The Department has determined that criterion one has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility does
not have a significant number of workers who are age 50 or
older.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with computer network software
produced at Intelliden Inc., Colorado Springs, Colorado,
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Intelliden Inc., Colorado Springs,
Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 29, 2005 through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
I further determine that all workers of Intelliden Inc.,
Colorado Springs, Colorado, are denied eligibility to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
