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 October 14, 2009, by the United Auto Workers on behalf
of workers of AZ Automotive Corporation, a subsidiary of AIG
Vantage Capital LP, Center Line, Michigan. The workers produce
automotive metal stampings.
The investigation revealed that workers of AZ Automotive
Corporation, a subsidiary of AIG Vantage Capital LP, Center
Line, Michigan who are engaged in employment related to
automotive metal stampings meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers were separated during the period of investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of AZ
Automotive Corporation produced and sold automotive metal
stampings to Chrysler LLC, Detroit, Michigan to be
incorporated into automotive vehicles. Workers of Chrysler
LLC, Detroit, Michigan are covered by certification number TA-
W-63,000 issued based on "increased aggregate imports" on
March 28, 2008.
Criterion III has been met because the automotive metal
stampings produced by AZ Automotive Corporation for Chrysler
LLC, Detroit, Michigan contributed importantly to the worker
separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AZ Automotive
Corporation, a subsidiary of AIG Vantage Capital LP, Center
Line, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automotive metal stampings 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 AZ Automotive Corporation, a subsidiary of
AIG Vantage Capital LP, Center Line, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 9, 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 29th day of March, 2010
