DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,495]

 
Tesco Technologies, LLC, Headquarters Office, Auburn Hills, MI; 
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 7, 2004, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on December 20, 2004 (69 FR 76017).
    The Department initially denied workers of Tesco Technologies, LLC, 
Headquarters Office, Auburn Hills, Michigan due to the lack of shift of 
production of assembly line equipment abroad and lack of import 
purchases during the relevant period.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that the 
workers worked ``strictly on General Motors Programs'' and that work 
shifted to India.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department contacted 
the company and was informed that there was no shift of production 
abroad.
    The Department contacted the two individuals of General Motors 
identified by the petitioner. One informed the Department that there 
was no outsourcing to India and the other contact advised that he was 
not a General Motors official and declined to make any comment.
    The Department contacted another General Motors official that 
stated the subject company lost a major contract to a domestic 
competitor and that some design work was moved in-house.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Tesco Technologies, LLC, Headquarters 
Office, Auburn Hills, Michigan.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 11th day of January, 2005.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
