    Description: Sections 222, 223 and 249 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, require the Secretary of Labor to issue a determination for 
groups of workers as to their eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA). After reviewing all of the information obtained for 
each petition for trade adjustment assistance filed with the 
Department, a determination is issued as to whether the statutory 
criteria for certification are met.
    The information collected in ETA Form 9118 will be used by the 
Secretary to specifically determine whether petitioning worker groups 
that perform a service are related to production of articles. If worker 
groups are related to production of articles, the form will request 
contact information so that sufficient article production and sales 
data may be collected from the appropriate contact to assess whether 
the production that service workers support is adversely affected by 
trade, and to adequately assess whether the group eligibility 
requirements detailed in section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, have been met.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
