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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 17, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of International Automotive Components Group North
American, LLC, Dearborn, Michigan (IAC Dearborn). The workers
provide administrative support services related to production
at all International Automotive Components manufacturing
locations. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from the firms listed above.
The investigation revealed that workers of IAC Dearborn
meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because employment at the
subject facility declined by at least five percent during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of automotive components by International
Automotive Components, LLC decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the automotive
components produced by International Automotive Components,
LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of automotive components by International
Automotive Components LLC contributed importantly to the
worker group separations at IAC Dearborn.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Automotive Components Group North American, LLC, Dearborn,
Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to
administrative support services 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 International Automotive Components Group
North American, LLC, Dearborn, Michigan, including on-site
leased workers from A and R Tech, Account Temps, ACRO

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."
