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 January 11, 2011, by an official from The
International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), Local 961, on
behalf of workers of Chrysler LLC, Powertrain Division,
Detroit, Michigan. The workers produce axles for automobiles
and trucks.
Workers of Chrysler LLC, Powertrain Division, Detroit,
Michigan were previously certified for Trade Adjustment
Assistance under TA-W-64,631 that expired on January 12, 2011.
The investigation revealed that workers of Chrysler LLC,
Powertrain Division, Detroit, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to production of axles, 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 Chrysler LLC,
Powertrain Division, Detroit, Michigan produced and sold axles
to a firm that employed a worker group that is covered by an
active certification, and the axles are related to the article
that was the basis for such certification.
Criterion III has been met because the axles supplied to
the firm with the TAA-certified worker group accounted for at
least 20 percent of the production of Chrysler LLC, Powertrain
Division, Detroit, Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chrysler LLC,
Powertrain Division, Detroit, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to production of axles, 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 Chrysler LLC, Powertrain Division,
Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 13, 2011,
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 25th day of March, 2011
