CURRIER TRUCKING CORPORATION
GORHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE

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 April 3, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Currier Trucking Corporation, Gorham, New Hampshire. The workers
performed transportation of paper products.
The investigation revealed that Currier Trucking
Corporation, Gorham, New Hampshire, 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 transport workers at Currier Trucking
Corporation 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 assis-
tance (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 the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Currier Trucking
Corporation, Gorham, New Hampshire 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.
