Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 18, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of TG Missouri Corporation, a division of TG North America,
Perryville, Missouri. The workers produce automotive trim
parts.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Perryville
facility who are engaged in employment related to production
of automotive trim parts meet the criteria as suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers in the workers' firm have become separated from
employment at the subject facility.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of the
Perryville Facility produced and supplied automotive trim
parts to Personnel Management, Inc. operating on-site at Toyota
Motor Manufacturing Indiana, Inc., Princeton, Indiana. The parts
are incorporated into automobiles at that site. Workers of
Personnel Management, Inc., working on-site at Toyota Motor
Manufacturing Indiana, Inc., in Princeton were covered by
certification number TA-W-61,608 issued based on increased
aggregate imports of automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because declines in sales of
the automotive trim parts produced by the Perryville Facility
contributed importantly to the production and sales decline of
the Perryville Facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TG Missouri
Corporation, a division of TG North America, Perryville,
Missouri, who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive trim parts meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:


"All workers of TG Missouri Corporation, a division of TG
North America, Perryville, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 18,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 29th day of June, 2009
