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 October 14, 2009 by the Tennessee - American
Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations
(TN-AFL-CIO) on behalf of workers of International Automotive
Components (IAC), Dayton, Tennessee. The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of molded plastic
component parts.
The investigation revealed that workers of IAC who are
engaged in activities related to the production of molded
plastic component parts 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 met because workers of IAC produced
and sold molded plastic component parts to firms that employed
a worker group who is covered by an active certification to be
incorporated into automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by IAC with the TAA-certified firms, with respect to molded
plastic component parts sold to the TAA-certified firms,
contributed importantly to worker separations at IAC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Automotive Components (IAC), Dayton, Tennessee, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of molded plastic
component parts 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 International Automotive Components (IAC),
Dayton, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 13, 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 2nd day of March, 2010.
