19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment

Manpower. The Department’s Notice of

Federal Register on January 10, 2014.
At the request of a state workforce
official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject

The company reports that workers
leased from Lacosta Family Support

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
certification to include workers leased
from Lacosta Family Support Services
working on-site at Benteler Automotive,
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–83,294 is hereby issued as
