WORLD AVIATION REWIND CORPORATION

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 February 27, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a State agency representative on
behalf of workers of World Aviation Rewind, Santa Ana,
California. The workers re-wind and repair electrical aircraft
components.
The investigation revealed the workers would disassemble,
clean and re-wire electric windings in stators, armatures and
coils for different generators.
The investigation revealed that World Aviation Rewind,
Santa Ana, California, 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 repair and rewind technicians 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 World
Aviation Rewind, Santa Ana, California, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of March, 2007
