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 June 22, 2007 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of NCR
Corporation, Global Operations, Peachtree City, Georgia. The
workers of the subject firm performed logistics and procurement
services.
The investigation found that Global Operation is a division
of NCR Corporation that is associated with the logistics or
shipping and procurement of materials and is not associated with
the production of any articles.
The investigation revealed that NCR Corporation, Global
Operations, Peachtree City, Georgia, 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 logistics and procurement services
workers described above 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 of facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of NCR Corporation,
Global Operations, Peachtree City, Georgia, 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 as amended.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of August, 2007
