Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade 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 September 13, 2004, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Xerox
Corporation, Workgroup Color Customer Support Center, El Segundo,
California. The workers performed customer services such as
applications, connectivity, and firmware support for color
copiers.
In order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose behalf certification is
being sought) must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article domestically and there must be a
relationship between the workers' work and the article produced
by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The
investigation revealed that although production of an article(s)
occurred domestically within the firm or appropriate subdivision,
the Xerox Corporation, Workgroup Color Customer Support Center,
El Segundo, California, did not support that production. Thus,
the worker group cannot be considered import impacted or affected
by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assis-
tance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since
the workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.











Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Xerox
Corporation, Workgroup Color Customer Support Center, El Segundo,
California are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
also denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 19th day of October 2004.
