Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on November 13, 2015, applicable to
workers and former workers of American Airlines, Inc., Texas
Aero Engine Services, LLC (TAESL), Fort Worth, Texas (subject
firm). The Department’s Notice of determination was published in
the Federal Register on January 11, 2016 (81 FR 1226). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on aircraft engines.
At the request of State Workforce Office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information shows that some workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had their unemployment insurance
(UI) wages reported through an account for Rolls Royce.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in services of the supply of maintenance, repair, and
overhaul services on aircraft engines.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter. The amended notice applicable
to TA-W-91,017 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of American Airlines, Inc., Texas Aero Engine
Services, LLC (TAESL), Fort Worth, Texas, including workers
whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported

threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on date of certification through two years from the date of

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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 5, 2015 by TWU, Local 567, on behalf of
workers of American Airlines, Inc., Texas Aero Engine Services,
LLC, Fort Worth, Texas (TAESL). TAESL is engaged in activities
related to the supply of maintenance, repair, and overhaul
services on aircraft engines. The subject worker group does
not include on-site leased workers.
The subject workers are not eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under a certification applicable to
workers and former workers of American Airlines, Alliance
Maintenance Base, Ft. Worth, Texas (TA-W-82,018; issued on
November 15, 2012).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and publically available
sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in TAESL have become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at TAESL.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TAESL, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of maintenance, repair, and
overhaul services on aircraft engines, 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 American Airlines, Inc., Texas Aero Engine
Services, LLC, Fort Worth, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 2,
2014 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 13th day of November 2015.
