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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 2, 2009 by an official of the United Auto Workers
(UAW), Local 389 on behalf of workers of Fluid Routing
Solutions, Holding Corp Big Rapids, Michigan. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Trillium Staffing
Solutions. The workers produce fuel filler assemblies.
The investigation revealed that workers of Fluid Routing
Solutions meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Fluid
Routing Solutions produced and sold fuel filler assemblies to
be incorporated into motor vehicles to firms that employed
worker groups producing such articles who are covered by
active certifications for TAA.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Fluid Routing Solutions with the TAA-certified firms, with
respect to fuel filler assemblies sold to the TAA-certified
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at Fluid
Routing Solutions in Big Rapid.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fluid Routing
Solutions, Holding Corp, including on-site leased workers from
Trillium Staffing Solutions, Big Rapids, Michigan, 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 Fluid Routing Solutions, Holding Corp,
including on-site leased workers from Trillium Staffing
Solutions, Big Rapids, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 3,
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."
