EXCEL TECHNICAL SERVICES
INCLUDING ON-SITE MANAGERIAL STAFF OF DELPHI CORPORATION
FISHERS, INDIANA

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, 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 on March 15, 2007 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Excel
Technical Services Incorporated, Fishers, Indiana. The workers
produced images, data, microfilm, and prints of blueprints and
engineering records.
The worker group includes on-site managerial staff from
Delphi Corporation, Fishers, Ohio.

The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm declined from 2006 to 2007.
The investigation revealed that the decline in employment
at the subject firm is related to a shift in production of
images, data, microfilm, and prints of blueprints and
engineering records to Mexico, a country that is party to a free
trade agreement with 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.
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 firm are age 50 or
over 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 conclude that there has been a shift in
production from the workers of Excel Technical Services
Incorporated, including on-site managerial staff from Delphi
Corporation, Fishers, Indiana, to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with the automotive ignition
products produced by that firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Excel Technical Services Incorporated,
including on-site managerial staff from Delphi Corporation,
Fishers, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 15, 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, 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 11th day of April, 2007
