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 February 18, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Aisin Manufacturing California, LLC, Stockton,
California (Aisin). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of door frames. The group consists
of on-site leased workers from Premier Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Aisin who are
engaged in activities related to the production of door frames
meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because 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.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Aisin
produced and sold door frames to a firm that employed a worker
group who is covered by an active certification to be
incorporated into automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because the door frames
produced by Aisin for a firm that employed a worker group
covered by an active certification accounted for at least 20
percent of the production or sales of Aisin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aisin Manufacturing
California, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Premier
Staffing, Stockton, California, who are engaged in activities
related to door frames 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 Aisin Manufacturing California, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Premier Staffing,
Stockton, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 8, 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 19th day of April, 2010.
