VISTEON CORPORATION
SPRINGFIELD PLANT
FORMERLY KNOWN AS VC REGIONAL ASSEMBLY & MANUFACTURING, LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
MSX INTERNATIONAL, ADECCO, AND MANPOWER
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO

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 August 27, 2010, applicable to workers of Visteon
Corporation, Springfield Plant, including on-site leased workers
from MSX International, Adecco, and Manpower, Springfield, Ohio.
The notice was published in the Federal Register September 15,
2010 (75 FR 56142).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of fuel
tanks, fuel delivery modules, and canister vent valves.
New information shows that Visteon Corporation, Springfield
Plant was formerly known as VC Regional Assembly & Manufacturing,
LLC. Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account under the name VC Regional Assembly & Manufacturing,
LLC.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
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 to a TAA certified worker group.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,610 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Visteon Corporation, Springfield Plant,
formerly known as VC Regional Assembly & Manufacturing,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from MSX
International, Adecco, and Manpower, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
March 2, 2009 through August 27, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10th day of November 2010.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO

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 March 3, 2010 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Visteon Corporation, Springfield Plant, Springfield, Ohio
(Visteon). The workers were engaged in activities related to the
production of fuel tanks, fuel delivery modules, and canister vent
valves.
The worker group also included on-site leased workers from
MSX International, Adecco, and Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Visteon who were
engaged in activities related to the production of fuel tanks, fuel
delivery modules, and canister vent valves meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers were separated or are threatened with
separations during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Visteon
produced component parts (fuel tanks and related components) that
were directly supplied to a firm with a certified Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) worker group, and the component
supplied was related to the production of an article that was the
basis for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Visteon with the TAA certified firm, with respect to fuel tanks
and related components sold to the TAA-certified firm, contributed
importantly to worker separations at Visteon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Visteon Corporation,
Springfield Plant, Springfield, Ohio, including on-site leased
workers from MSX International, Adecco, and Manpower, who were
engaged in activities related to the production of fuel tanks, fuel
delivery modules, and canister vent valves 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 Visteon Corporation, Springfield Plant,
Springfield, Ohio, including on-site leased workers from MSX
International, Adecco, and Manpower, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 2,
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 27th day of August, 2010.
