KELSEY-HAYES COMPANY
A SUBSIDIARY OF TRW AUTOMOTIVE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
VOLT TECHNICAL RESOURCES
LIVONIA, MICHIGAN

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 February 4, 2009,
applicable to workers of Kelsey-Hayes Company, a subsidiary of
TRW Automotive Holding Corporation, Livonia, Michigan. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2009 (74
FR 9282).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in administrative functions and product engineering
support for automotive components.
New information shows that workers leased from Volt
Technical Resources were employed on-site at the Kelsey-Hayes
Company, a subsidiary or TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation,
Livonia, Michigan. 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 workers leased from Volt Technical
Resources employed on-site at the Kelsey-Hayes Company, a
subsidiary or TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation, Livonia,
Michigan.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,628 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Kelsey-Hayes Company, a subsidiary or
TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Volt Technical Resources, Livonia,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 8, 2007, through
February 4, 2011, 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.”

KELSEY-HAYES COMPANY
A SUBSIDIARY OF TRW AUTOMOTIVE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
LIVONIA, MICHIGAN

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 December 9, 2009 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Kelsey-Hayes Company, a subsidiary of TRW
Automotive Holdings Corporation, Livonia, Michigan. The workers
are engaged in administrative functions and product engineering
support for automotive components.
The investigation revealed that employment declined at the
subject firm from December 8, 2007 through December 8, 2008.
The workers at the subject firm were in direct support of
production of automotive components manufactured by TRW Automotive,
Body Control Systems North America, Winona, Minnesota. The workers
of that plant were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance based on a shift in production to Mexico under petition
number TA-W-63,739, issued on August 7, 2008.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 TRW Automotive to Mexico of articles that are like or directly
competitive with the automotive components parts produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Kelsey-Hayes Company, a subsidiary of TRW
Automotive Holdings Corporation, Livonia, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 8, 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 and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
