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 16, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hella Lightning Corporation, General Lightning
Division, York, South Carolina. The workers produce headlamps
and fog lamps for the automotive industry. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Reliance One Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hella Lightning
Corporation, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of headlamps and fog lamps meet, the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of headlamps
and fog lamps during the relevant time period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of headlamps and fog lamps to Mexico and Slovenia
by Hella Lightning has contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hella Lightning
Corporation, York, South Carolina, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of headlamps and fog lamps
used in the automotive industry 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 Hella Lightning Corporation, General
Lightning Division, York, South Carolina, including on-
site leased workers from Reliance One Inc., who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 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 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 7th day of October, 2009
