From Roush Management LLC, Rapid

Amended Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration on August 8, 2007. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on August 20, 2007 (72 FR
46515–46516). The Revised
Determination on Reconsideration was
amended on January 30, 2009 to include
on-site leased workers from Roush
Management LLC. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
February 13, 2009 (74 FR 7269).
At the request of a petitioner, the
Department reviewed the Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration for workers of the
subject firm. The workers are in direct
support of production of numerous
production assembly plants of Ford
Motor Company. All of these production
facilities were certified eligible for
adjustment assistance during April
through December 2006.
New information shows that workers
leased workers from Rapid Global
Business Solutions, Inc., and TAC
Automotive were employed on-site at
the Dearborn, Michigan location of Ford
Motor Company, Product Development
Center. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to
be considered leased workers.

Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this revised
determination to include workers leased
from Rapid Global Business Solutions,

of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Ford Motor Company,
Product Development and Engineering
Center, Dearborn, Michigan who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–60,086 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Ford Motor Company,
Product Development and Engineering
Center, including on-site leased workers from
Roush Management LLC, Rapid Global
Business Solutions, Inc., and TAC
Automotive, Dearborn, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 14, 2005,
through August 8, 2009, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible
to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.

EOS Airlines Incorporated, Purchase,
NY; Notice of Negative Determination;
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated May 18, 2009,
the petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA),
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The denial
notice was signed on April 14, 2009 and
published in the Federal Register on
April 30, 2009 (74 FR 19996).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34043
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The negative TAA determination
issued by the Department for the
workers of Eos Airline Incorporated,
Purchase, New York was based on the
findings that the worker group did not
produce an article within the meaning
of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
The investigation revealed that workers
of the subject firm provided air
transportation services to customers.
The investigation further revealed that
no production of article(s) occurred
within the firm or appropriate
subdivision during the relevant period.
The petitioner in the request for
reconsideration contends that the
Department erred in its interpretation of
the work performed by the workers of
the subject firm. The petitioner states
that the workers of the subject firm
produced an article in the form of
‘‘Available Seat Mile’’. The petitioner
seems to allege that the pilots produced
Seat Miles while transporting customers
to their destination.
The investigation revealed that during
the relevant period, the workers of Eos
Airlines Incorporated, Purchase, New
York provided air transportation
services to customers. Specifically,
according to the company official, the
workers of the subject firm were pilots
who provided air services between the
United States and Europe.
These functions, as described above,
are not considered production of an
article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Trade Act. While the
provision of services results in
providing the customers with the
Available Seat Mile, which is used in
measuring the productivity of an airline,
the Seat Mile is incidental to the
provision of these services. No
production took place at the subject
facility, nor did the workers support
production of an article at any domestic
location during the relevant period.
The petitioner also states that the
workers would have been eligible for
TAA under the new Trade Act if they
filed the petition in May 2009. The
petitioner seems to allege that the
workers of the subject firm should be
evaluated using new eligibility criteria
and receive a certification for TAA
under the new law, even though they
filed a petition under the old Trade Act
before the new provision went into
effect.
