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 December 15, 2008,
applicable to workers of Visteon Systems, LLC, North Penn Plant,
Electronics Products Group, including on-site leased workers from
Ryder Integrated Logistics, Lansdale, Pennsylvania. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2009 (74 FR

correct the impact date to read December 6, 2008. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2009 (74 FR 469).
At the request of the petitioner, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce power control modules, SDARS, and sensors.
New information shows that workers from Span America, Inc.
were employed on-site at the Lansdale, Pennsylvania, location of
Visteon Systems, LLC, North Penn Plant, Electronics Products
Group.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Visteon Systems, LLC, North
Penn Plant, Electronics Products Group to be covered by this
certification.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by the shift
in production of power control modules, SDARS, and sensors to
Mexico.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers from Span America, Inc. working
on-site at the Lansdale, Pennsylvania, location of the subject
firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,413 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Visteon Systems, LLC, North Penn Plant,
Electronics Products Group, including on-site leased
workers from Ryder Integrated Logistics and including
on-site workers from Span America, Inc., Lansdale,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 6, 2008, through
December 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 November 13, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America, UAW, Local 1695, on behalf of workers of Visteon Systems,
LLC, North Penn Plant, Electronics Products Group, Lansdale,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce power control modules, SDARS,
and sensors. These products are used for in automobiles. Workers
are not separately identifiable by product.
The worker group includes on-sited lease workers from Ryder
Integrated Logistics.
The investigation revealed that employment at the North Penn
Plant declined in January through October 2008 compared with the
same period of the previous year.
The subject firm is shifting production of power control
modules, SDARS, and sensors to Mexico; Mexico is a country that is
a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
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 there was 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 Visteon Systems, LLC, North Penn Plant,
Electronics Products Group, including on-site leased workers
from Ryder Integrated Logistics, Lansdale, Pennsylvania who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 29, 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.
