Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
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 August 22, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
SelecTrucks Refurbishing Center, Tooele, Utah. The workers
produced automotive wire harnesses and dash assemblies.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in production of automotive
wire harnesses and dash assemblies to a country (Mexico) that is a
party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
The investigation further revealed that SelecTrucks
Refurbishing Center, Tooele, Utah leased on-site leased workers
from Intermountain Staffing Resources, Manpower of Utah, and
Aerotek
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.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:

1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).


The Department has determined that criterion 1 has not been
met. The investigation revealed that there is not a significant
number of workers in the workers' firm that are 50 years of age or
older.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of SelecTrucks Refurbishing Center, including on-
site leased workers of Intermountain Staffing Resources,
Manpower of Utah, and Aerotek, Tooele, Utah who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 20, 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."
I further determine that all workers of SelecTrucks Refurbish-
ing Center, including on-site leased workers of Intermountain
Staffing Resources, Manpower of Utah, and Aerotek, Tooele, Utah,
are denied eligibility 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 September, 2007.
