Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on February 28, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of at ZyQuest, Inc., DePere, Wisconsin. The subject firm
developed software and provided computer consulting services.
The investigation revealed that the petitioning workers of
this firm or subdivision do not produce an article within the
meaning of Section 222(c)(3) of the Act. The Department of Labor
has consistently determined that the performance of services does
not constitute production of an article, as required by Section 222
of the Trade Act of 1974, and this determination has been upheld in
the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Workers at the firm or subdivision may be certified only if
their separation was caused importantly by a reduced demand for
their services from a parent firm, a firm otherwise related to
their firm by ownership, or a firm related by control. Addition-
ally, the reduction in demand for services must originate at a
production facility whose workers independently meet the statutory
criteria for certification, and the reduction must directly relate
to the product impacted by imports. These conditions have not been
met for workers at this firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
ZyQuest, Inc., DePere, Wisconsin, are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 22nd day of April 2003
