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 November 26, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Source Providers, Inc., division of Comprehensive
Logistics, Inc., Lansing, Michigan. The workers performed
transport of automobile parts for the General Motors Grand River
Plant in Lansing, Michigan.
The investigation revealed that Source Providers, Inc.,
division of Comprehensive Logistics, Inc., Lansing, Michigan,
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
workforce of Source Providers, Inc., in Lansing, Michigan 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 Source Providers,
Inc., division of Comprehensive Logistics, Inc., Lansing,
Michigan 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 18th day of December 2008
