20 CFR 618.110 a worker group is defined as, ""¦inclusive of
teleworkers and staffed workers."

The worker group is engaged in activities related to the

the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
("ATAA") for older workers.
