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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Inergy Automotive Systems, LLC, Troy, Michigan. The
workers design and engineer blow-molded fuel systems and
provide administrative support services related to the
production of these articles. Actual production takes place
at other subject firm locations, including a facility in
Adrian, Michigan whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance on August 17, 2009 (TA-W-
70,171).
The investigation revealed that workers of Inergy
Automotive Systems, LLC who are engaged in employment related
to the production of blow-molded fuel systems meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
portion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of blow-molded
plastic fuel systems to Mexico. The shift in production
contributed importantly to the decline in employment at the
subject facility as the worker group at Troy directly supports
the production that shifted abroad at the Adrian, Michigan
location.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of blow-molded plastic fuel systems to Mexico by
Inergy Automotive Systems, LLC contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Inergy Automotive Systems, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Inergy Automotive
Systems, LLC, Troy, Michigan who are engaged in employment
related to the design and support in production of blow-molded
plastic fuel systems 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 Inergy Automotive Systems, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Accountemps, INCAT,
and RCM Technologies, Troy, Michigan 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 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 26th day of August, 2009
