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 July 2, 2009, on behalf of workers of Cooper-Standard
Automotive, Inc., a subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Holdings,
Inc., Novi, Michigan (Cooper-Standard). The workers provide
management and administrative services related to the firm's
production of automotive parts used to reduce noise, vibration
and harshness. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Robert Half Management Resources.
The investigation revealed that workers of Cooper-Standard
who are engaged in employment related to providing management
and administrative services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of automotive parts to India, China, and South
Korea by Cooper-Standard contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Novi, Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cooper-Standard
Automotive, Inc., a subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Holdings,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Robert Half
Management Resources Inc., Novi, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to management and administration, 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 Cooper-Standard Automotive, Inc., a
subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Holdings, including on-site
leased workers from Robert Half Management Resources Inc.,
Novi, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 30, 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 30th day of September, 2009
