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 "Downstream Producer" as "a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for another
firm for articles or services with respect to which a group of
workers in such other firm has been certified under subsection
(a) [of Section 222 of the Act]" and defines the term "value-
added production processes or services" to "include final
assembly, finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or
transportation services."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 7, 2010 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Trim Masters, Inc., a joint venture of Toyota
Boshuko America, Johnson Controls Automotive System Group and
Toyota Tsusho, Nicholasville, Kentucky (Trim Masters). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
seat assemblies. The group consists of on-site leased workers
from Nesco Resource and Remedy Intelligent Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Trim Masters who
are engaged in activities related to the production of seat
assemblies meet the criteria as a Downstream Producer for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Trim Masters have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Trim Masters
performed value-added production processes with a firm that
employed a worker group who is covered by an active
certification and the seating assemblies were related to the
article that was the basis of the firm's certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Trim Masters with the TAA-certified firm contributed
importantly to the worker separations at Trim Masters.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trim Masters, Inc., a
joint venture of Toyota Boshuko America, Johnson Controls
Automotive System Group and Toyota Tsusho, including on-site
leased workers from Nesco Resource and Remedy Intelligent
Staffing, Nicholasville, Kentucky, who are engaged in activities
related to seating assemblies 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 Trim Masters, Inc., a joint venture of
Toyota Boshuko America, Johnson Controls Automotive System
Group and Toyota Tsusho, including on-site leased workers
from Nesco Resource and Remedy Intelligent Staffing
Nicholasville, Kentucky, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 7, 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 22nd day of October, 2010.
