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 November 9, 2009 by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of
America on behalf of workers of Chrome Craft Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex-N-Gate Chrome Corporation,
Highland Park, Michigan. The workers produce chrome and nickel
plated automotive component parts.
The investigation revealed that workers of Chrome Craft
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flex-N-Gate Chrome
Corporation, Highland Park, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to production of chrome and nickel plated
automotive component parts, meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers at Chrome Craft Corporation have been totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because Chrome Craft
Corporation produced and sold chrome and nickel plated
automotive component parts that were directly supplied to a
firm with a TAA-certified worker group, and the components
supplied were related to the production of the article that
was the basis for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the chrome and nickel
plated automotive component parts produced for the firm that
employed a TAA-certified worker group accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of Chrome Craft
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chrome Craft
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex-N-Gate Chrome
Corporation, Highland Park, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to production of chrome and nickel plated
automotive component parts, 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 Chrome Craft Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Flex-N-Gate Chrome Corporation, Highland
Park, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 6, 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 21st day of July, 2010
