Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on May 25, 2007,
applicable to workers of Delphi Corporation, Automotive holding
Group, including on-site leased workers of Securitas, Bartech,
TAC Automotive, Interim, Dividend Staffing, and Kelly Services,
Wichita Falls, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on June 7, 2007 (72 FR 31615).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of exhaust oxygen sensors.
New information shows that the correct name of the on-site
leasing firm Dividend Staffing should read Breckenridge
Enterprises/Dividend Staffing. Some of the workers from Dividend
Staffing separated from employment at the subject firm had their
wages reported under the unemployment insurance (UI) tax account
for Breckenridge Enterprises/Dividend Staffing. Accordingly, the
Department is amending the certification to clarify this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed on-site at Delphi Corporation, Automotive
Holding Group, Wichita Falls, Texas, who were adversely affected
by increased imports. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-
61,449 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Delphi Corporation, Automotive Holding
Group, including on-site leased workers of Securitas,
Bartech, TAC Automotive, Interim, Breckenridge
Enterprises/Dividend Staffing, and Kelly Services,
Wichita Falls, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 30, 2006,
through May 25, 2009, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of January 2008.

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), 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 May 4, 2007 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Delphi Corporation, Automotive Holding Group, Wichita Falls, Texas.
The workers of the subject firm produce exhaust oxygen sensors.
The investigation revealed that employment, sales, and


production declined from January to March 2007 as compared to the
same time period the previous year.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm employs on-
site leased workers of Securitas, Bartech, TAC Automotive, Interim,
Dividend Staffing, and Kelly Services.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm’s major
declining customer regarding its purchases of exhaust oxygen
sensors in 2005 and 2006 and January to March 2007. The survey
revealed increased reliance on imports of exhaust oxygen sensors
during the period under investigation.
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 determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with exhaust oxygen sensors produced
by Delphi Corporation, Automotive Holding Group, Wichita Falls,
Texas, 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 Delphi Corporation, Automotive Holding Group,
Wichita Falls, Texas, including on-site leased workers of
Securitas, Bartech, TAC Automotive, Interim, Dividend
Staffing, and Kelly Services at Delphi Corporation, Automotive
Holding Group, Wichita Falls, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 30,
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."
