Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker 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 June 23, 2010,
applicable to workers of General Motors Corporation, Milford
Proving Grounds, Milford, Michigan. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on July 7, 2010 (75 FR 39046).
The workers supply support services related to the
production of automobiles, such as quality, reliability, and
durability testing. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from various temporary staffing agencies.
New information provided in another investigation shows that
workers of the Non-IT Business Development Team and the
Engineering Applications Support Team of the Global Product
Development division of Hewlett Packard, formerly known as EDS,
were employed on-site at General Motors Corporation, Milford
Proving Grounds, Milford, Michigan during the relevant period.
Based on this new information, the Department reviewed the
certification of TA-W-72,851.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers at the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased U.S. aggregate imports of articles like or directly
competitive with automobiles produced by General Motors
Corporation, Milford, Michigan.
The Department has determined that the workers of Hewlett
Packard formerly known as EDS, Global Product Development, Non-IT
Business Development Team and Engineering Applications Support
Team, were sufficiently under the control of General Motors,
Milford Proving Grounds, Milford, Michigan, during the relevant
period and are, therefore, part of the subject worker group.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include on-site leased workers from Hewlett
Packard, formerly known as EDS, Global Product Development, Non-
IT Business Development Team and Engineering Applications Support
Team, Milford, Michigan.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,851 is hereby
issued as follows:

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 by the Michigan State TAA Coordinator on November 16, 2009,
on behalf of workers of General Motors Corporation, Milford Proving
Grounds, Milford, Michigan. The workers support production of
automobiles. Support services include: Quality, Reliability, and
Durability Testing. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adroit Software & Consulting, Inc., Aerotek
Professional Services, Inc., Aerotek, Inc., Ajilon Consulting
(IS&S), Altair Engineering, Inc., Applied Computer Solutions, Inc.,
The Bartech Group, CDI Professional Services, Engineering Labs,
Inc., Global Technology Associates, LTD., IAV Automotive
Engineering, Inc., Infotrieve, Inc., Kelly Service, Inc., Populus
Group, RCO Engineering, Inc., Tek Systems, Teledata Technology
Solutions, and Wipro, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Milford
Proving Grounds who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automobiles meet the criteria for certification.
The Milford Proving Grounds supports automotive vehicle
production at several General Motors Company facilities, including
General Motors Company, formerly known as General Motors
Corporation, Orion Assembly Plant, Lake Orion, Michigan. Workers at
the Orion Assembly Plant were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance based on increased aggregate imports of lower
mid-range cards like or directly competitive with the Chevrolet
Malibu and Pontiac G6. Workers at the Milford Proving Grounds are
affected by the same factors that led to the certification of the
workers engaged in the production of automobiles at the affiliated
assembly plant.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers has been separated in the relevant period.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because automobile
quality, reliability and durability testing at the Milford
Proving Ground have decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S. aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 produced by General Motors Company
have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at the
Milford Proving Ground.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors
Corporation, Milford Proving Grounds, Milford, Michigan, who are
engaged in employment related to support of automobile production,
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 General Motors Corporation, Milford Proving
Grounds, including on-site leased workers from Adroit Software
& Consulting, Inc., Aerotek Professional Services, Inc.,
Aerotek, Inc., Ajilon Consulting (IS&S), Altair Engineering,
Inc., Applied Computer Solutions, Inc., The Bartech Group, CDI
Professional Services, Engineering Labs, Inc., Global
Technology Associates, LTD., IAV Automotive Engineering, Inc.,
Infotrieve, Inc., Kelly Service, Inc., Populus Group, RCO
Engineering, Inc., Tek Systems, Teledata Technology Solutions,
and Wipro, Inc., Milford, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 20,
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.”
