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 June 5, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Keihin IPT Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of
Keihin North America, Inc., Greenfield, Indiana. The workers
produce air and fuel systems and motorcycle parts. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Spartan Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Keihin IPT
Manufacturing, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to
production of air and fuel systems and motorcycle parts meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers were separated from employment during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
shifted production of air and fuel systems and motorcycle
parts to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of air and
fuel systems and motorcycle parts to Japan by Keihin IPT
Manufacturing, Inc. contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Greenfield, Indiana facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Keihin IPT
Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of Keihin North America, Inc.,
Greenfield, Indiana, who are engaged in employment related to
production of air and fuel systems and motorcycle 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 Keihin IPT Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary
of Keihin North America, Inc., formerly known as KIPT - now
known as KNA, including on-site leased workers from
Spartan Staffing, Greenfield, Indiana, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 2,
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 10th day of November, 2009
