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).

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 December 20, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Faurecia, Emissions Control Technologies Division
(FECT), Dexter, Missouri. The workers are engaged in
manufacturing exhaust systems and component systems for the
automotive industry. The subject worker group does not include
any on-site leased workers.
Workers separated from the Dexter, Missouri facility
on/after December 15, 2007 through February 5, 2011 are eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-64,696.
The investigation revealed that the subject worker group at
FECT, Deter, Missouri, meets the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers at FECT has been totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because FECT is shifting to a
foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the exhaust systems and component systems
produced by the workers at FECT.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at FECT, Dexter, Missouri.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of FECT, Dexter,
Missouri, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of exhaust systems and component systems, 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 Faurecia, Emissions Control Technologies
Division, Dexter, Missouri, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 6, 2011,
through two years from the date of certification, 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 in Washington, D.C., this 25th day of January, 2011
