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 April 22, 2009 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of JCIM US LLC, formerly known as Plastech
Engineered Products, Plymouth, Michigan. The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of plastic automobile
parts.
The investigation revealed that employment at the Plymouth
facility declined from March 22, 2008 to March 22, 2009.
The investigation further revealed that the subject workers
supported production at JCIM US LLC's manufacturing affiliates,
including JCIM, US-LLC, fka Plastech Engineered Products,
Wauseon, Ohio. Workers at that facility were certified eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance on February 18, 2009 based on
a shift in production of plastic interior automotive parts to
Canada (TA-W-64,985).
In addition, 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.
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 Canada 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 JCIM US LLC, formerly known as Plastech
Engineered Products, Plymouth, Michigan, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March
22, 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 in Washington, D. C., this 25th day of June 2009
