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 on June 19, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on
behalf of the workers of GTECH Corporation, West Greenwich,
Rhode Island, and GTECH Corporation, Coventry, Rhode
Island. The workers are engaged in the production of
lottery terminals.
The investigation revealed that GTECH Corporation,
West Greenwich, Rhode Island, and GTECH Corporation,
Coventry, Rhode Island, leased workers from Kelly Services.
Employment and production at the subject facilities
declined from January through May 2007 over the
corresponding 2006 period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
entities for which GTECH Corporation submitted bids (in
2006 and 2007) to provide lottery terminals. The survey
revealed that a contract was awarded to a domestic firm who
is sourcing the lottery terminals from abroad. Shipments
of these lottery terminals have begun to arrive in the
United States.
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 possess skills that are not 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 lottery
terminals produced by GTECH Corporation, West Greenwich,
Rhode Island, and GTECH Corporation, Coventry, Rhode Island
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 GTECH Corporation, West Greenwich,
Rhode Island, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services (TA-W-61,704); and all workers of GTECH
Corporation, Coventry, Rhode Island, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services (TA-W-61,704A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 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 30th day of August, 2007
