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 February 18, 2011, applicable to workers of
Indianapolis Metal Center, a division of General Motors Company,
including workers whose wages were previously reported under FEIN
38-0572515, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Comprehensive Logistics Company, Inc., Hewlett Packard, Ideal
Setech, LLC, Quaker Chemical Co., Securitas Security Services US,
Robinson Solutions, Waste Management, Inc., American Food and
Vending, Key Office Services, and Paragon Technologies,
Indianapolis, Indiana. The workers produce automotive stampings.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 10,
2011 (76 FR 13230).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from Voith Industrial Services, Inc.,
and VMX International, LLC were employed on-site at the
Indianapolis, Indiana location of Indianapolis Metal Center, a
division of General Motors Company, including workers whose wages
were previously reported under FEIN 38-0572515. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of Indianapolis Metal Center, a division of General
Motors Company, including workers whose wages were previously
reported under FEIN 38-0572515 to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Voith Industrial
Services, Inc., and VMX International, LLC working on-site at the
Indianapolis, Indiana location of Indianapolis Metal Center, a
division of General Motors Company, including workers whose wages
were previously reported under FEIN 38-0572515.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,033 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Indianapolis Metal Center, a division
of General Motors Company, including workers whose
wages were previously reported under FEIN 38-0572515,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Comprehensive Logistics Company, Inc., Hewlett Packard,
Ideal Setech, LLC, Quaker Chemical Co., Securitas
Security Services US, Robinson Solutions, Waste
Management, Inc., American Food and Vending, Key Office
Services, Paragon Technologies, Voith Industrial
Services, Inc., and VMX International, LLC,
Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 20,
2009, through February 18, 2013, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 15th day of June 2011.

INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES WERE PREVIOUSLY
REPORTED UNDER FEIN 38-0572515

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 Trade 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 December 22, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Indianapolis Metal Center, a division of General Motors
Company, including workers whose wages were reported under FEIN 38-
0572515, Indianapolis, Indiana. The workers produce automotive
stampings. The following leasing firms are included in the worker
group: Aerotek, Comprehensive Logistics Company, Inc., Hewlett
Packard, Ideal Setech, LLC, Quaker Chemical Co., Securitas Security
Services US, Robinson Solutions, Waste Management, Inc., American
Food and Vending, Key Office Services, and Paragon Technologies.

The investigation revealed that workers of Indianapolis Metal
Center, a division of General Motors Company, Indianapolis,
Indiana, who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive stampings, meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been totally or partially separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Indianapolis Metal Center
produced and sold automotive stamping to a firm that employed a
worker group that is covered by an active certification, and the
automotive stampings are related to the article that was the basis
for such certification.
Criterion III has been met because the automotive stampings
supplied to the firm with the TAA-certified worker group accounted
for at least 20 percent of the sales of Indianapolis Metal Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Indianapolis Metal
Center, a division of General Motors Company, Indianapolis,
Indiana, who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive stampings, 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 Indianapolis Metal Center, a division of
General Motors Comany, including workers whose wages were
reported under FEIN 38-0572515, and including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Comprehensive Logistics Company, Inc.,
Hewlett Packard, Ideal Setech, LLC, Quaker Chemical Co.,
Securitas Security Services US, Robinson Solutions, Waste
Management, Inc., American Food and Vending, Key Office
Services, and Paragon Technologies, Indianapolis, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 20, 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 18th day of February, 2011
