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 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 August 21, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of JTEKT Automotive Virginia, Inc., a division of JTEKT
North America, Inc., a subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation,
Daleville, Virginia. The investigation revealed that the worker
group includes on-site leased workers of Adecco North America,
LLC., Express Employment Professionals, and GAS Wakenhut
Services, Inc. Workers at the subject firm produce automotive
steering systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of JTEKT Automotive
Virginia, Inc., a division of JTEKT North America, Inc., a
subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation, including on-site leased
workers of Adecco North America, LLC., Express Employment
Professionals, and GAS Wakenhut Services, Inc., Daleville,
Virginia who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automotive steering systems meet the criteria as
suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of JTEKT
Automotive Virginia Incorporated, a division of JTEKT North
America, a subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation, including on-site

Assembly Plant, Warren, Ohio (TA-W 70,623) and General Motors
Company, Wilmington Assembly Plant, Wilmington, Delaware (TA-W
71,249) are covered by existing certifications. These
certifications were both issued on the basis of increased
company imports of automobiles.

steering systems produced by JTEKT Automotive Virginia
Incorporated, a division of JTEKT North America, a subsidiary
of JTEKT Corporation, including on-site leased workers of
Adecco North America, LLC., Express Employment Professionals,

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:

Corporation, including on-site leased workers of Adecco
North America, LLC., Express Employment Professionals, and
