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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 15, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Commercial Vehicle Product
Group, Glasgow, Kentucky. The workers are engaged in activities
related to production of gears, pinions, and small differential
gearing for the on- and off-highway truck market.
The worker group was covered by certification number TA-W-
63,305 that expired on May 30, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dana Holding
Corporation who are engaged in activities related to production
of gears, pinions, and small differential gearing meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because the firm has shifted to
a foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of gears, pinions, and small differential gearings
by Dana Holding Corporation contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Glasgow, Kentucky facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Holding
Corporation, Commercial Vehicle Product Group, Glasgow,
Kentucky who are engaged in activities related to production of
gears, pinions, and small differential gearings 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 Dana Holding Corporation, Commercial
Vehicle Product Group, Glasgow, Kentucky, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 31 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 7th day of June, 2010
