Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 28, 2009, on behalf of workers of Corporate Tax
Consultants, LLC, working on-site at Ford Motor Company,
Dearborn, Michigan. Workers are engaged in providing state and
local tax services to commercial businesses.
The investigation revealed that workers of Corporate Tax
Consultants who are engaged in employment related to tax
services meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers have been separated or are threatened
with separation during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
Corporate Tax Consultants have decreased during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with tax
services provided by Corporate Tax Consultants have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to worker
separations and sales declines at Corporate Tax Consultants.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Corporate Tax
Consultants, LLC who are engaged in employment related to tax
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 Corporate Tax Consultants, LLC, working on-
site at Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 24, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 29th day of January, 2010
