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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on March 18, 2010, applicable to workers
of Plastic Omnium Automotive Exteriors, LLC, Anderson, South
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register
April 23, 2010 (75 FR 21356). The workers are engaged in the
production of automotive parts.
New information shows that worker separations have occurred
involving workers in support of the Anderson, South Carolina
location of Plastic Omnium Automotive Exteriors, LLC., working
out of Troy, Michigan. The workers provided office, engineering
and sales services supporting the Anderson, South Carolina
production facility of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers in support of the Anderson,
South Carolina facility working out of Troy, Michigan.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected as
suppliers of components parts to be incorporated into automotive
vehicles to a firm that employed a worker group who is covered
by an active Trade Adjustment Assistance Certification.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,230 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Plastic Omnium Automotive Exteriors, LLC,
Anderson, South Carolina (TA-W-73,230), and Troy, Michigan
(TA-W-73,230A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 6, 2009 through March
18, 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 January 8, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Plastic Omnium Automotive Exteriors, LLC, Anderson,
South Carolina (Plastic Omnium). The workers produce
automotive parts, including bumpers, fenders, and modules.
The investigation revealed that workers of Plastic Omnium,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
automotive parts, meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary
worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Plastic Omnium was separated, or
threatened with separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Plastic
Omnium produced and sold component parts to be incorporated
into automotive vehicles to a firm that employed a worker
group who is covered by an active Trade Adjustment Assistance
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the business with the
aforementioned firm accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production at the Anderson, South Carolina facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Plastic Omnium
Automotive Exteriors, LLC, Anderson, South Carolina, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of automotive
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 Plastic Omnium Automotive Exteriors, LLC,
Anderson, South Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 6, 2009,
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.”
