Amended Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
(Department) issued a Revised Determination on Reconsideration
on December 22, 2010, applicable to workers and former workers
of UAW-Chrysler Technical Training Center, Technology Training
Joint Programs Staff, Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-71,047) and
Warren, Michigan (TA-W-71,047A). The workers supply technical
training services such as applied industrial technology,
industrial automation, industrial maintenance and welding. The
Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on
January 12, 2011 (76 FR 2147-2148).
The certification was amended on May 18, 2011 include on-
site leased workers from Manpower. The amended Notice was
published in the Federal Regis on May 27, 2011 (76 FR 30974).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New findings show that workers leased from Manpower were
erroneously including in the certification document. Company
officials and the State workforce agency have confirmed that
only workers leased from Cranks, O/E Learning, DBSI, Idea, and
Tonic/MVP were employed on-site at the Detroit, Michigan and
Warren, Michigan locations of UAW-Chrysler National Training
Center, Technology Training Joint Programs Staff. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of UAW-Chrysler National Training Center,
Technology Training Joint Programs Staff to be considered leased
workers.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,047 and TA-W-
71,047A are hereby issued as follows:

“All workers of UAW-Chrysler National Training Center,
Technology Training Joint Programs Staff, including on-site
leased workers from Cranks, O/E Learning, DBSI, Idea, and
Tonic/MVP, Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-71,047) and UAW-Chrysler
National Training Center, Technology Training Joint
Programs Staff, including on-site leased workers from
Cranks, O/E Learning, DBSI, Idea, and Tonic/MVP, Warren,
Michigan (TA-W-71,047A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 27, 2008, through
December 22, 2012, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended.”

Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

By application dated June 15, 2010, the State of Michigan
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Coordinator requested
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative
determination regarding eligibility for workers and former
workers of UAW-Chrysler National Training Center, Detroit,
Michigan (subject firm) to apply for TAA. The negative
determination, issued on April 13, 2010, was based on the
Department’s finding that a significant number or proportion of
the workers the subject firm was not totally or partially
separated or threatened with such separation. The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010 (75
FR 28301). The Department’s Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for Reconsideration was signed on June 21,
2010, and was published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2010
(75 FR 38126).
To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner
supplied additional information regarding the number of workers
separated from the subject firm and regarding the eligibility of
workers at several Chrysler plants to apply for TAA.
Based on the information received during the
reconsideration investigation, the Department has determined
that the subject worker group consists of the training facility
in Detroit, Michigan and a training facility in Warren,
Michigan; the subject worker group are members of the Technology
Training Joint Programs Staff; and the criteria set forth in
Section 222(a) has been met.
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department
confirmed that the proportion of Technology Training Joint
Programs Staff separated at each subject facility met the
statutory threshold.
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department
sought detailed information about the types of training provided
at the subject facilities. The information revealed that the
technical training provided (such as applied industrial
technology, industrial automation, industrial maintenance, and
welding) supported the production of articles manufactured at
several Chrysler plants whose workers have been certified
eligible to apply for TAA based on increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles that were
produced directly using the training services supplied by the
subject facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I determine that workers of UAW-Chrysler
National Training Center, Technology Training Joint Programs
Staff, Detroit, Michigan, and Warren, Michigan, who are engaged
in employment related to the supply of technical training
services, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of UAW-Chrysler National Training Center,
Technology Training Joint Programs Staff, Detroit, Michigan
(TA-W-71,047), and Warren, Michigan (TA-W-71,047A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 27, 2008, through two years from the date of this
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended.”

Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

By application dated June 15, 2010, the State of Michigan
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The Department’s determination was
issued on April 13, 2010, and the Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010 (75 FR 28301).
The initial investigation resulted in a negative
determination based on the finding that a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the UAW-Chrysler National Training
Center, Detroit Michigan, had not been separated or threatened
with separation.
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided
additional information regarding the number of employees of the
subject firm.
The Department has carefully reviewed the request for
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that
the Department will conduct further investigation to determine
if the workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review of the application, I conclude that
the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of
the U.S. Department of Labor's prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.
