In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

Adjustment Assistance on April 6, 2011, applicable to workers of

At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,218 is hereby
issued as follows:

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.”

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 “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 February 11, 2011, by International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), Local 2807, on behalf of workers of International
Automotive Components, North America, Lebanon, Virginia (subject
firm). The worker group includes on-site leased workers of At-
Work Personnel and CJR Solutions DBA Harvard Resource Solutions.
The workers produce component parts for the automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of automotive component parts, meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the subject firm have been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm
supplied component parts directly to a firm that employed
worker groups eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and the component parts supplied were related
to the production of articles that were the basis for the TAA
certifications.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
with the afore-mentioned firm, with respect to automotive
component parts supplied to the firm, contributed importantly
to worker separations at International Automotive Components,
North America, Lebanon, Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Automotive Components, North America, Lebanon, Virginia, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of automotive
component parts, 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 International Automotive Components, North
America, including on-site leased workers of At-Work
Personnel and CJR Solutions DBA Harvard Resource Solutions,
Lebanon, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 9, 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 6th day of April, 2011
