In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on May 7, 2010, applicable to workers of
Inteva Products, LLC, Adrian, Michigan. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 30072).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of component parts (automotive
instruments and door panels) for automobiles.
New findings show that worker separations occurred during
the relevant time period at the Troy, Michigan location of

human resources, administrative functions, engineering and
financial services for the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Troy, Michigan location of Inteva
Products, LLC.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected as a
secondary component supplier of component parts (automotive
instruments and door panels) for automobiles to a TAA certified
firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,961 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Inteva Products, LLC, Adrian, Michigan (TA-
W-72,961 and Inteva Products, LLC, Troy, Michigan (TA-W-

employment on or after November 3, 2008, through May 7,
2012, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on 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.”

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 27, 2009 by a state workforce official of the
State of Michigan on behalf of workers of Inteva Products, LLC,
Adrian, Michigan (Inteva). The workers produce component parts
(automotive instruments and door panels) for automobiles.
The investigation revealed that workers of Inteva, who
produce 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 at Inteva was separated, or
threatened with separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Inteva
produced and sold produced component parts to be incorporated
into a finished article to firms that employed worker groups
who are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance.
Criterion III has been met because the component parts
produced and sold to the afore-mentioned firms accounted for
at least 20 percent of the production or sales of the Adrian,
Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Inteva Products, LLC,
Adrian, Michigan, who produce 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 Inteva Products, LLC, Adrian, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 3, 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.”
