In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 30, 2010, applicable to workers of General Motors Company, formerly known as General Motors Corporation, Technical Center, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Bartech Group, EDI Professional Services, EDS/HP Enterprise Services, Engineering Labs, Inc., Global Technology Associates Limited, G-Tech Professional Staffing, Inc., Jefferson Wells, Kelly Services, Inc., Optimal, Inc., Populus Group, RCO Engineering, Inc., and Tek Systems, excluding workers of The Global Purchasing and Supply Chain Division, Warren, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 30070). The notice was amended on December 6, 2010, January 13, 2011, and May 20, 2011 to include on-site leased workers from Modern Engineering/Professional Services, General Physics Corporation, and Entech.

At the request of the state, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the engineering and other technical support of automotive production at affiliated plants.

Further review revealed that workers leased from Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc. were employed on-site at the Warren, Michigan location of General Motors Company, formerly known as General Motors Corporation, Technical Center. The Department has determined that on-site workers from Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc. were sufficiently under the control of General Motors Company to be considered leased workers.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc. working on-site at the Warren, Michigan location of General Motors Company, formerly known as General Motors Corporation, Technical Center.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,121 is hereby issued as follows:
