Airtex Products LP, Including On-Site Leased Workers of Staffmark 
and Aid Temporary Services, Inc.; Marked Tree, Arkansas; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated February 8, 2007, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
negative determination was signed on January 24, 2007, and was 
published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2007 (72 FR 7087).
    The workers of Airtex Products LP, including on-site leased workers 
of Staffmark and Aid Temporary Services, Inc., Marked Tree, Arkansas 
were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
on January 24, 2007.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that there was not a 
significant number of workers in the workers' firm that are 50 years of 
age or older, and that the skills of the subject worker group are 
easily transferable to other positions in the local area.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official 
resubmitted correct employment numbers which show that a significant 
number or proportion of the worker group of the subject firm are fifty 
years of age or older. The company official also provided new 
information confirming that the skills of the workers at the subject 
firm are not easily transferable in the local commuting area.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. Competitive 
conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Airtex Products LP, including on-site leased 
workers of Staffmark and Aid Temporary Services, Inc., Marked Tree, 
Arkansas, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after October 20, 2005 through January 24, 2009, are eligible 
to apply for trade 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 in Washington, DC, this 21st day of February, 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
