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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 4, 2009, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Kelsey Hayes Company, North American Braking and
Suspension Division, a subsidiary of TRW Automotive, Inc.,
Fowlerville, Michigan. The workers produce automotive anti-skid
braking systems and stability control.
Workers of the subject firm were certified eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under petition number TA-W-59,926, which
expired September 11, 2008.
The investigation revealed that Kelsey Hayes Company, North
American Braking and Suspension Division, a subsidiary of TRW
Automotive, Inc., Fowlerville, Michigan, supplies component parts
for vehicles and a loss of business with a manufacturer of vehicles
whose workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance contributed importantly to the separation or threat of
separation of workers at Kelsey Hayes Company, North American
Braking and Suspension Division, a subsidiary of TRW Automotive,
Inc., Fowlerville, Michigan.
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 determine that workers of Kelsey Hayes Company,
North American Braking and Suspension Division, a subsidiary of TRW
Automotive, Inc., Fowlerville, Michigan qualify as adversely
affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Kelsey Hayes Company, North American Braking
and Suspension Division, a subsidiary of TRW Automotive, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from VOLT Services, and
ADECCO, Fowlerville, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 12, 2008,
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 at Washington, D.C., this 17th day of February 2009
