[TA-W-62,043]


Synergis Technologies Group Corporation, Dielink International 
Development; Including On-Site Leased Workers from Forge Industrial 
Staffing, All Performance Staffing and Aerotek Grand Rapids, Michigan; 
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on September 17, 2007, applicable to workers of 
Synergis Technologies Group Corporation, including on-site leased 
workers from Forge Industrial Staffing, and All Performance Staffing, 
Grand Rapids, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on October 3, 2007 (72 FR 56385).
    At the request of petitioners, a company official and a state 
agency representative, the Department reviewed the certification for 
workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production 
of metal stamping dies.
    New information provided by the company shows that the worker group 
includes those employees of Synergis Technologies Group Corporation 
divisions known as Dielink International and Dievelopment. These two 
divisions are located at different street addresses in Grand Rapids, 
but are engaged in employment related to the production of metal 
stamping dies. Furthermore, the Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage 
account for these divisions is reported under Synergis Technologies 
Group Corporation. The company official also confirms that the worker 
group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotech. The Department has 
determined that the Aerotech workers were sufficiently under the 
control of Synergis Technologies Group Corporations.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers of Dielink International, 
Dievelopment, and workers from Aerotek working on-site at the Grand 
Rapids, Michigan locations of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Synergis Technologies Group Corporation, Grand 
Rapids, Michigan who were adversely-impacted by a shift in production 
of metal stamping dies to China.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,043 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Synergis Technologies Group Corporation, 
Dietech International and Dievelopment, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 
including on-site leased workers from Forge Industrial Staffing, All 
Performance Staffing and Aerotek, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after August 24, 2006, through 
September 17, 2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974.''


    Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of January 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
