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 6, 2009 on behalf of workers of International
Automotive Components Huron, LLC, Huron, Ohio. The workers are
engaged in the production of injection molded automotive
components and automotive panels.
The investigation revealed that workers of International
Automotive Components Huron, LLC, Huron, Ohio, who are engaged
in employment related to the production of injection molded
automotive components and automotive panels, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proortion
of workers have become separated at the Huron location during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted production to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers' firm at the Huron, Ohio location.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico by International Automotive Components
Huron, LLC contributed importantly to worker separations at
the Huron, Ohio facility.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Automotive Components Huron, LLC, Huron, Ohio, 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 Huron,
LLC, Huron, Ohio who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 14, 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 9th day of December, 2009
