Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC

The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 22,
2007 (72 FR 13528).
The certification was amended on July 22, 2008 to show the
subject firm is currently known as ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer
NA, Inc. and to include on-site leased workers from Manpower. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2008 (73
FR 44282). The certification was also amended on September 19,
2008 to include an employee located in Auburn Hills, Michigan and
was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2008. (73

At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the production of assembly and welding
systems.
New information shows that workers leased from Van Marter &
Associates, Inc., and VM Resources, Inc. were employed on-site at
the Janesville, Wisconsin location of NothelferGilman, Inc.,
currently known as ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer NA, Inc.,
formerly known as Gilman Engineering and Manufacturing Company.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers from Van Marter &
Associates, Inc., and VM Resources, Inc. working on-site at the
Janesville, Wisconsin location of the subject firm.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,807 is hereby

and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade

NOTHELFERGILMAN, INCORPORATED
FORMERLY KNOWN AS GILMAN ENGINEERING AND
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
ADVANCED PROJECT SERVICES, LLC, AEROTEK, INC.,

AND TECHSTAFF OF MILWAUKEE, INC.
JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
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 in response to a petition
received on January 22, 2007 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at NothelferGilman, Inc., formerly known as
Gilman Engineering and Manufacturing Company, Janesville,
Wisconsin.


Workers of the subject firm were previously certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under petition
number (TA-W-56,053), which was under certification through
January 21, 2007.
The workers produced assembly and welding systems. The
workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that plant sales and employment
declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the company’s
lost bids of automated assembly and welding systems. The survey
revealed that the company lost bids to a foreign company in which
the subject firm was the lowest domestic bidder.
The investigation revealed that NothelferGilman, Inc.,
formerly known as Gilman Engineering and Manufacturing Company,
Janesville, Wisconsin leased workers from Advanced Project
Services, LLC, Aerotek, Inc., Human Capital Solutions, Impact
Engineering Solutions, Inc., and Techstaff of Milwaukee, Inc. to
work on-site at NothelferGilman, Inc., formerly known as Gilman
Engineering and Manufacturing Company, Janesville, Wisconsin.
The workers were engaged activities related to the production of
assembly and welding systems.


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 addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the subject facility are
age 50 or older and do not possess skills that are easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are
adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with automated assembly and welding
systems produced at NothelferGilman, Inc., formerly known as
Gilman Engineering and Manufacturing Company, Janesville,
Wisconsin 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 NothelferGilman, Inc., formerly known as
Gilman Engineering and Manufacturing Company, Janesville,
Wisconsin, including on-site leased workers of Advanced
Project Services, LLC, Aerotek, Inc., Human Capital
Solutions, Impact Engineering Solutions, Inc., and Techstaff
of Milwaukee, Inc. who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 22, 2007 through two
years from the date of certification are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade
Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of March, 2007.
