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 16, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Dakota Imaging, LLC, a division of Emdeon Business Solutions, LLC,
El Paso, Texas. The petition reflected the parent location
(Nashville, Tennessee) as the subject location, however, on further
contact with the petitioner it was revealed that the intended
subject location should been indicted as El Paso Texas. Workers of
the subject firm are engaged in claims processing services.
The investigation revealed that Dakota Imaging, LLC, a
division of Emdeon Business Solutions, LLC, El Paso, Texas, 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 workers of
Dakota Imaging, LLC, a division of Emdeon Business Solutions, LLC,
El Paso, Texas 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, I determine that all workers of Dakota
Imaging, LLC, a division of Emdeon Business Solutions, LLC, El
Paso, Texas, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 24th day of April 2008
