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, 2010 on behalf of workers of Design Systems,
Incorporated, Farmington Hills, Michigan. The workers provide
a variety of engineering and simulation services for motor
vehicles manufacturers.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from the
firms listed above.
The investigation revealed that workers of Design Systems,
Incorporated, who are engaged in employment related to the
provision of engineering and simulation services, meet the
criteria as suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Design
Systems, Incorporated, provided engineering and simulation
services used in the production of motor vehicles. and at least
20 percent of its sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance based on imports of motor vehicles.
Criterion III has been met because the engineering
services and simulation services provided by Design Systems,
Incorporated, for a firm that employed a worker group covered
by an active certification accounted for at least 20 percent
of the sales of Design Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Design Systems,
Incorporated, including on-site leased workers from firms
listed above who are engaged in employment related to the
provision of engineering and simulation services 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 Design Systems, Incorporated, including
on-site leased workers from 3P Engineering Services, LLC,
AAA Industrial Services, Comtech International Design
Group, Inc., Design & Control Consultants, Inc.,
Dimensional Concepts, Inc., Fabteq, Inc., Facilities
Management Concepts, LLC, Motion International, MTC, Inc.
C/O Gurin & Gurin, Reliance One, Inc., SSOE, Inc., Staff
Resources, Inc., Tony Muscat Project Management, LLC, and
Venator, Farmington Hills, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 10,
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 7th day of May, 2010
