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 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 13, 2010 by the State of California Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Coordinator on behalf of workers of
Toyota Logistic Services, a Division of Toyota Motor Sales,
USA, Inc., Fremont, California (Toyota Logistic Services).
Workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
vehicle processing, accessorizing, and delivery services, and
are not separately identifiable by service supplied. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Harbor Services,
Vascor LTD, Aerotek, Inc., and Adecco Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Toyota
Logistics Services meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary
worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Toyota Logistic Services have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened with
such separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Toyota Logistic Services
supplied services to a firm that employed a worker group that
is currently eligible to apply for TAA, and the services
supplied are related to the article that is the basis for the
TAA certification (automobiles).
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Toyota Logistic Services with the firm with the TAA-certified
worker group, with respect to those services supplied to the
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at the
Fremont, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Toyota Logistic
Services, who are engaged in the supply of vehicle processing,
accessorizing, and delivery services, 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 Toyota Logistic Services, a Division of
Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Harbor Services, Vascor LTD, Aerotek, Inc.,
and Adecco Staffing, Fremont, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 12, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 13th day of May, 2010
