DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF DAIMLER A.G.
FREIGHTLINER TRUCKS DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK
CLEVELAND, NORTH CAROLINA

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 May 12, 2008,
applicable to workers of Daimler Trucks North America, LLC, a
subsidiary of Daimler A.G., Freightliner Trucks Division,
Cleveland, North Carolina. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on May 29, 2008 (73 FR 30977).
At the request of the petitioner, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of class 8 heavy duty trucks.
New information shows that workers leased from Aerotek were
employed on-site at the Cleveland, North Carolina location of
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC, a subsidiary of Daimler A.G.,
Freightliner Trucks Division. The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under the control of Daimler
Trucks North America, LLC, a subsidiary of Daimler A.G.,
Freightliner Trucks Division to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Aerotek working on-
site at the Cleveland, North Carolina location of the subject
firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,269 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Daimler Trucks North America, LLC, a
subsidiary of Daimler A.G., Freightliner Trucks
Division, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Cleveland, North Carolina, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
April 22, 2007, through May 12, 2010, 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.”

DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF DAIMLER A.G.
FREIGHTLINER TRUCKS DIVISION
CLEVELAND, NORTH CAROLINA

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), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on April 29, 2008 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Daimler Trucks North
America, LLC, a subsidiary of Daimler A.G., Freightliner Trucks
Division, Cleveland, North Carolina. The workers produce class 8
heavy duty trucks.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased in January through March 2008.
The investigation also revealed the subject firm increased
reliance on imports of heavy duty trucks during the relevant
period.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with class 8 heavy duty trucks
produced by Daimler Trucks North America, LLC, a subsidiary of
Daimler A.G., Freightliner Trucks Division, Cleveland, North
Carolina, contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production at
that firm or subdivision.


In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers Daimler Trucks North America, LLC, a subsidiary
of Daimler A.G., Freightliner Trucks Division, Cleveland,
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 22, 2007 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.”
