TUCKER POWERSPORTS

FORT WORTH, TEXAS

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 7, 2019 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Tucker Powersports, a subsidiary of Motorsport
Aftermarket Group, Fort Worth, Texas (Tucker Powersports-Fort
Worth). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
supplying sales and distribution services. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from PDQ Temporaries.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and major declining customers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
sales and distribution services supplied by Tucker Powersports-
Fort Worth have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the sales
and distribution services supplied by Tucker Powersports-Fort
Worth have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Tucker Powersports-Fort Worth.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tucker Powersports,
Fort Worth, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of sales and distribution 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 Tucker Powersports, a subsidiary of
Motorsport Aftermarket Group, including on-site leased
workers from PDQ Temporaries, Fort Worth, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 5, 2018 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 20th day of November 2019.
