AUTOMODULAR ASSEMBLIES OF OHIO, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKDERS FROM ADP TOTALSOURCE I, INC.
LORDSTOWN, OHIO

Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on March 23, 2010, applicable to workers
of Automodular Assemblies of Ohio, Inc., Lordstown, Ohio. The
notice was published in the Federal Register April 23, 2010 (75
FR 21357).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the assembly of components
for automobiles.
The company reports that workers leased from ADP
TotalSource I, Inc. were employed on-site at the Lordstown, Ohio
location of Automodular Assemblies. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from ADP TotalSource
I, Inc. working on-site at the Lordstown, Ohio location of
Automodular Assemblies.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,712 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Automodular Assemblies of Ohio, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from ADP TotalSource I,
Inc., Lordstown, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 16, 2008,
through March 23, 2012, 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 3rd day of June, 2010

LORDSTOWN, OHIO

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 17, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Automodular Assemblies of Ohio, Inc., Lordstown,
Ohio. The workers assemble components for automobiles.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Lordstown
facility who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive subassemblies meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because Automodular Assemblies
of Ohio, Inc. supplied a component part to a firm that
employed a worker group covered by an active Trade Adjustment
Assistance certification and the component part is used in the
production of the article that was the basis for
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the component parts
supplied to the TAA-certified customer accounted for at least
20 percent of the sales of Automodular Assemblies of Ohio,
Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Automodular
Assemblies of Ohio, Inc., Lordstown, Ohio, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of automotive components
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:



“All workers of Automodular Assemblies of Ohio, Inc.,
Lordstown, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 16, 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.”
