Lear Corporation; Quality Control and
Inspection Department; 950 Loma
Verde Drive, El Paso, TX; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On October 3, 2008, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of Lear Corporation,
Quality Control and Inspection
Department, located at 950 Loma Verde
Drive, El Paso, Texas (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on October 10,
2008 (73 FR 60338).
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s finding that the
subject firm does not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)
of the Act. Workers inspected wire
harness component parts. The
determination further stated that
because the subject workers are denied
eligibility to apply for trade adjustment
assistance (TAA), the workers cannot be
certified eligible for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA).
In the request for reconsideration, the
worker alleges that his work ‘‘is directly
involved in the manufacturing of the
final product’’ and that ‘‘Lear
Corporation took our jobs to Mexico.’’
The worker also alleges that he is in the
Product Part Approval Process
Department, which is separate from the
Quality Control and Inspection
Department.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department clarified
with a subject human resource official
that the worker group engaged in the
Product Part Approval Process are part
of the Quality Control and Inspection
Department. Therefore, the Department
determines that the initial identification

Jkt 217001
of the subject worker group are workers
of Lear Corporation, Quality Control and
Inspection Department, located at 950
Loma Verde Drive, El Paso, Texas is
correct.
A careful review of previouslysubmitted information during the
reconsideration investigation revealed
that a significant number or proportion
of workers in the appropriate
subdivision of the workers’ firm have
become totally or partially separated.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department confirmed
that the workers were engaged in the
inspection of wire harness component
parts and was also informed that the
workers were engaged in the testing of
those articles. The Department
considers testing to be a production
activity. As such, the Department
determines that the subject workers are
engaged in the production of wire
harness component parts.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department confirmed
that the subject firm shifted wire
harness component part production to
an affiliated facility located in Mexico.
Based on the above, the Department
determines that the group eligibility
requirements in Section 222(a)(2)(B) of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have
been met.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for ATAA.
The Department has determined in
this case that the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained during the reconsideration
investigation, I conclude that there was
a shift in production from the workers’
firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles
that are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following
certification:
‘‘All workers of Lear Corporation, Quality
Control and Inspection Department, 950
Loma Verde Drive, El Paso, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 25, 2007 through
two years from the date of this certification,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

Lear Corporation; Quality Control and Inspection Department; 950
Loma Verde Drive, El Paso, TX; Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On October 3, 2008, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to
workers and former workers of Lear Corporation, Quality Control and
Inspection Department, located at 950 Loma Verde Drive, El Paso, Texas
(subject firm). The Department's Notice was published in the Federal
Register on October 10, 2008 (73 FR 60338).
The negative determination was based on the Department's finding
that the subject firm does not produce an article within the meaning of
Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. Workers inspected wire harness component
parts. The determination further stated that because the subject
workers are denied eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA), the workers cannot be certified eligible for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA).
In the request for reconsideration, the worker alleges that his
work ``is directly involved in the manufacturing of the final product''
and that ``Lear Corporation took our jobs to Mexico.'' The worker also
alleges that he is in the Product Part Approval Process Department,
which is separate from the Quality Control and Inspection Department.
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department clarified
with a subject human resource official that the worker group engaged in
the Product Part Approval Process are part of the Quality Control and
Inspection Department. Therefore, the Department determines that the
initial identification of the subject worker group are workers of Lear
Corporation, Quality Control and Inspection Department, located at 950
Loma Verde Drive, El Paso, Texas is correct.
A careful review of previously-submitted information during the
reconsideration investigation revealed that a significant number or
proportion of workers in the appropriate subdivision of the workers'
firm have become totally or partially separated.
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed
that the workers were engaged in the inspection of wire harness
component parts and was also informed that the workers were engaged in
the testing of those articles. The Department considers testing to be a
production activity. As such, the Department determines that the

an affiliated facility located in Mexico.
Based on the above, the Department determines that the group
eligibility requirements in Section 222(a)(2)(B) of the Trade Act of

In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C.

that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
``All workers of Lear Corporation, Quality Control and

became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
