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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 1, 2009 on behalf of workers of Accuride -
Cuyahoga Falls, Aluminum Wheels division, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
Workers were engaged in activities related to production of
aluminum truck rims. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Adecco.
The investigation revealed that workers of Accuride -
Cuyahoga Falls who were engaged in activities related to
production of aluminum truck rims meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of aluminum truck rims at Accuride - Cuyahoga
Falls has decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with aluminum truck rims produced by Accuride - Cuyahoga Falls
has increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer reliance on imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Accuride - Cuyahoga Falls.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Accuride - Cuyahoga
Falls, Aluminum Wheels Division, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio who were engaged in
activities related to production of aluminum truck rims 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 Accuride - Cuyahoga Falls, Aluminum Wheels
Division, including on-site leased workers from Adecco,
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 31, 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 6th day of May, 2010
