Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration
of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

By letter dated May 7, 2007, the United Auto Workers Local
2911 requested administrative reconsideration regarding
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers of the subject firm. The negative determination was
signed on April 4, 2007, and was published in the Federal
Register on April 24, 2007 (72 FR 20370).
The workers of International Truck and Engine Corporation,
Truck Development and Technical Center, Ft. Wayne, Indiana were
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
on April 4, 2007.
The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of
the subject worker group are easily transferable to other
positions in the local area.
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided
sufficient information confirming that the skills of the workers
at the subject firm are not easily transferable in the local
commuting area.
Additional investigation has determined that the workers
possess skills that are not easily transferable. A significant
number or proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or
over. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers
at the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of International Truck and Engine Corporation,
Truck Development and Technical Center, Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 22, 2006 through April 4, 2009, are
eligible to apply for trade 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 30th day of May, 2007.

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, 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.
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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on February 23, 2007, and filed by United Auto Workers
Local 2911 on behalf of workers at International Truck and Engine
Corporation, Truck Development and Technical Center, Ft. Wayne,
Indiana. The workers produced engineering drawings.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment at
the subject firm are related to the subject firm shifting its
production of engineering drawings to India, and subsequently
importing those products into the United States.
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 2 has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that the workers in the workers'
firm possess skills that are easily transferable.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to division of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of International Truck and Engine Corporation,
Truck Development and Technical Center, Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 22, 2006, 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 International Truck
and Engine Corporation, Truck Development and Technical Center, Ft.
Wayne, Indiana, are denied eligibility to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 4th day of April 2007.
