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 March 11, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of General Motors Component Holdings, LLC, a division
of General Motors Company, formerly known as Delphi
Corporation, Electronics and Safety Division, Kokomo, Indiana.
The workers produce automotive electronics, including HVAC
systems, amplifiers, mainboards, gas control modules, hybrid
airmeter electronics, hybrid ignition electronics, pressure
sensors, transmission control modules, crash sensing devices,
occupant sensing devices, warning systems, and semiconductors.
Workers of Delphi Corporation, Electronics and Safety
Division, Kokomo, Indiana were covered by certification number
TA-W-62,760 that expired on February 14, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Motors
Component Holdings, who are engaged in employment related to
production automotive electronics, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of General
Motors Component Holdings produced component parts that were
directly supplied to firms with TAA-certified worker groups,
and the components supplied were related to the production of
articles that were the basis for the TAA certifications.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by General Motors Component Holdings with the TAA-certified
firms, with respect to automotive electronics sold to the TAA-
certified firms, contributed importantly to worker separations
at the Kokomo, Indiana facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors
Component Holdings, LLC, a division of General Motors Company,
formerly known as Delphi Corporation, Electronics and Safety
Division, Kokomo, Indiana, who are engaged in employment related
to production of automotive electronics, 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 General Motors Component Holdings, LLC, a
division of General Motors Company, formerly known as
Delphi Corporation, Electronics and Safety Division,
Kokomo, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 15, 2010, 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 4th day of August, 2010
