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 USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and
issue a certification of eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
in either paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222
of the Trade Act must be met. It is determined in this case
that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been
met.
The investigation was initiated on August 29, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on
behalf of the workers of Magna Donnelly, A subsidiary of
Magna International, Grand Haven, Michigan. The workers
produce automotive parts. In particular they produce
automotive mirrors and door handles. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that Magna Donnelly, A
subsidiary of Magna International, Grand Haven, Michigan,
also leased workers from Manpower.
The investigation also revealed that employment and
production decreased during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's
major customer regarding purchases of mirrors and door
handles in 2005, 2006 and January through July 2007. The
survey revealed increased import purchases during the
relevant period.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974
(26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification
of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met.
The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50
or over and possess skills that are not easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry
are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of
articles like or directly competitive with automotive parts
produced by Magna Donnelly, A subsidiary of Magna
International, Grand Haven, Michigan, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers
and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"Workers engaged in the production of automotive
mirrors and door handles for Magna Donnelly, A
subsidiary of Magna International, Grand Haven,
Michigan, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 28, 2006 through
two years from the date of certification, 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 in Washington, D.C., this 24th day of September 2007.
