DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

TA-W-64,133

CENCORP, LLC.
LONGMONT, COLORADO

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 September 30, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by a company official of Cencorp,
LLC., Longmont, Colorado. Workers at the subject firm were engaged
in field support services for the foreign production of depaneling
equipment. Specifically, these duties consist of services such as
assisting the parent company (located abroad) in procuring
materials for depaneling equipment production.
Workers of the subject firm are currently certified eligible
to apply for trade adjustment assistance under petition number
TA-W-60,233, which will expire on November 14, 2008. Production of
depaneling equipment at the firm ceased in December 2006. The
remaining employees of the firm worked out of their homes.
The investigation revealed that Cencorp, LLC., Longmont,
Colorado, 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 procurement
workers described above do not support a firm or appropriate
subdivision that produces an article domestically and thus the
worker group cannot 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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Cencorp, LLC.,
Longmont, Colorado, separated from employment on or after November
15, 2008, 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.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of October 2008
