Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 28, 2009, applicable to workers of Visteon
Corporation, Visteon Headquarters, including Headquarter
employees at Plymouth, Michigan site and on-site leased workers
from MSX International and Manpower, Van Buren Township,
Michigan. The workers are engaged in the manufacturing of
automotive systems.
The Visteon Headquarter sites provide support services
including research, engineering, manufacturing support, and
administrative services such as purchasing, material planning and
logistics, legal, human resources, finance, information
technology and sales to their affiliated production sites. The
notice was published in the Federal Register September 22, 2009
(74 FR 48303). The certification was amended on October 13, 2009
to include the above mention on-site leased firms. The amended
notice was published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2009
(74 FR 55260).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The company reports that on-site workers from Automotive
Components Holdings, LLC (ACH), a subsidiary of Ford Motor
Company, were employed on-site at the Van Buren Township,
Michigan site and at the Plymouth, Michigan site. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be included in this certification.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers from ACH, a subsidiary of Ford
Motor Company working on-site at the Van Buren Township, Michigan
site of Visteon Corporation, Visteon Headquarters, including
Headquarter Employees at the Plymouth, Michigan site.

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 26, 2009 on behalf of workers of Visteon Corporation,
Visteon Headquarters, including Headquarter employees at the
Plymouth, Michigan site and on-site leased workers from Msx
International and Manpower, Van Buren Township, Michigan. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the manufacturing of
automotive systems. The Visteon Headquarter sites provide support
services including research, engineering, manufacturing support,
and administrative services such as purchasing, material planning
and logistics, legal, human resources, finance, information
technology, and sales to their affiliated production sites.
Workers of the subject firm supported production at Visteon
manufacturing affiliates, including Visteon Systems, LLC, North
Penn Plant, Electrics Products Group, Lansdale, Pennsylvania,
Visteon Systems LLC Bedford, Indiana Plant, Visteon Systems,
Connersville, Indiana plant and Visteon Regional Assembly and
Manufacturing, LLC, Chesapeake, Virginia. Workers at these
facilities were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance during periods covered by this investigation, based on
shifts of production abroad or imports of products manufactured at
the plants.
Workers of the subject firm who are engaged in employment
related to the manufacturing of automotive systems meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers has been separated.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted the production of articles or imported articles like or
directly competitive with automotive systems to/from a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of production
abroad and/or imports of automotive systems at affiliated plants
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Visteon headquarters sites.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Visteon Corporation,
Visteon Headquarters, including Headquarter employees at the
Plymouth, Michigan site and on-site leased workers from Msx
International and Manpower, Van Buren Township, Michigan, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of automotive
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 Visteon Corporation, Visteon Headquarters,
including Headquarter employees at the Plymouth, Michigan site
and on-site leased workers from Msx International and
Manpower, Van Buren Township, 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 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.”
