UAW-Chrysler National Training Center Technology Training Joint 
Programs Staff, Detroit, MI; UAW-Chrysler Technical Training Center 
Technology Training Joint Programs Staff, Warren, MI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated June 15, 2010, the State of Michigan Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Coordinator requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding 
eligibility for workers and former workers of UAW-Chrysler National 
Training Center, Detroit,

[[Page 2148]]

Michigan (subject firm) to apply for TAA. The negative determination, 
issued on April 13, 2010, was based on the Department's finding that a 
significant number or proportion of the workers the subject firm was 
not totally or partially separated or threatened with such separation. 
The Department's Notice was published in the Federal Register on May 
20, 2010 (75 FR 28301). The Department's Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration was signed on 
June 21, 2010, and was published in the Federal Register on July 1, 
2010 (75 FR 38126).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 
additional information regarding the number of workers separated from 
the subject firm and regarding the eligibility of workers at several 
Chrysler plants to apply for TAA.
    Based on the information received during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department has determined that the subject worker 
group consists of the training facility in Detroit, Michigan and a 
training facility in Warren, Michigan; the subject worker group are 
members of the Technology Training Joint Programs Staff; and the 
criteria set forth in Section 222(a) has been met.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed 
that the proportion of Technology Training Joint Programs Staff 
separated at each subject facility met the statutory threshold.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department sought 
detailed information about the types of training provided at the 
subject facilities. The information revealed that the technical 
training provided (such as applied industrial technology, industrial 
automation, industrial maintenance, and welding) supported the 
production of articles manufactured at several Chrysler plants whose 
workers have been certified eligible to apply for TAA based on 
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the 
articles that were produced directly using the training services 
supplied by the subject facilities.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of UAW-Chrysler National 
Training Center, Technology Training Joint Programs Staff, Detroit, 
Michigan, and Warren, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related 
to the supply of technical training 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 UAW-Chrysler National Training Center, Technology 
Training Joint Programs Staff, Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-71,047), and 
Warren, Michigan (TA-W-71,047A), who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 27, 2008, through two 
years from the date of this certification, and all workers in the 
group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 
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, DC, this 22nd day of December 2010.
