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 19, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Valeo Climate Control Corporation, including on-site leased
workers of Dako Resources, Auburn Hills, Michigan (Valeo
Climate Control). The workers produce heating, air
conditioning, ventilation, and cooling components for
automobiles and are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that workers of Valeo Climate
Control, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and
cooling components for automobiles, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Valeo Climate Control have been
totally or partially separated or threatened with such
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Valeo
Climate Control produced and sold heating, air conditioning,
ventilation, and cooling components to a firm that employed a
worker group who is covered by an active Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) certification to be incorporated into
automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Valeo Climate Control with the TAA-certified firm, with
respect to heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and cooling
components, contributed importantly to worker separations at
Valeo Climate Control.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Valeo Climate Control
Corporation, including on-site leased workers of Dako
Resources, Auburn Hills, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of heating, air
conditioning, ventilation, and cooling components, 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 Valeo Climate Control Corporation,
including on-site leased workers of Dako Resources, Auburn
Hills, Michigan who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 16, 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 19th day of February, 2010
