FUJITSU TEN CORPORATION OF AMERICA
RUSHVILLE INDIANA OPERATIONS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND PENMACK
RUSHVILLE, INDIANA

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 October 11, 2007,
applicable to workers of Fujitsu Ten Corporation of America,
Rushville Indiana Operations, including on-site leased workers of
Personnel Management, Inc., Rushville, Indiana. The notice will
be published soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of automotive electronic controls.
The review of the investigation record shows that the
Department inadvertently excluded from the certification on-site
leased workers from Penmack.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include on-site leased workers from Penmack. The workers of
Penmack at the Rushville site are sufficiently under the control
of Fujitsu Corporation of America to be considered leased
workers.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,073 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Fujitsu Ten Corporation of America,
Rushville Indiana Operations, including on-site leased
workers of Personnel Management, Inc. and Penmack,
Rushville, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 28, 2006,
through October 11, 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.”

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 August 30, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Fujitsu Ten Corp of America, Rushville Indiana Operations,
Rushville, Indiana. The workers produce automotive electronic
controls.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Personnel
Management Inc.
Workers of the subject facility were certified eligible to
apply for trade adjustment assistance on April 21, 2003 (TA-W-
51,300). That certification expired on April 21, 2005.
A significant number or proportion of workers at the subject
firm are threatened to become separated from employment.
The subject firm is shifting production of automotive
electronic controls to Mexico, a country that is party to a free
trade agreement with 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 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 Fujitsu Ten Corp of America, Rushville Indiana
Operations, including on-site leased workers of Personnel
Management Inc., Rushville, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 28,
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 October 2007.
