FAURECIA EXHAUST SYSTEMS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION GROUP
GRANGER, INDIANA
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 USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 15, 2008, applicable to workers of Faurecia Exhaust Systems, Granger, Indiana. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2008 (73 FR 6212).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of automotive exhaust systems.
New information shows that leased workers of Industrial Distribution Group were employed on-site at the Granger, Indiana location of Faurecia Exhaust Systems. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include leased workers of Industrial Distribution Group working on-site at the Granger, Indiana location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers employed at Faurecia Exhaust Systems, Granger, Indiana who were adversely affected by a shift in production of automotive exhaust systems to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,633 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Faurecia Exhaust Systems, including on-site leased workers from Industrial Distribution Group, Granger, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 2, 2007, through January 15, 2010, 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.”

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, as amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of an 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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 4, 2008, in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of Faurecia Exhaust Systems, Granger, Indiana. The workers produce automotive exhaust systems.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is shifting production of exhaust systems from its Granger plant to Mexico; worker separations associated with that shift have commenced.
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 addition, 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 conclude that there is a shift in production from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Faurecia Exhaust Systems, Granger, Indiana who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 2, 2007 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.”
