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 Dana Structural Manufacturing, LLC, Structures
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Longview, Texas. 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 workers
are engaged in the production of component parts for the
automotive industry.
The review shows that on December 10, 2008, a certification
of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance was issued for
all workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Structural Solutions
Group, including on-site workers from Career Personnel,
Longview, Texas, separated from employment on or after October
29, 2007 through December 10, 2010 (TA-W-64,310). The notice
was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 (73
FR 79915).
In order to avoid an overlap in worker group coverage
concerning the workers from Dana Structural, the Department is
amending the February 10, 2010 impact date established for TA-W-
75,227, to read December 11, 2010. Since the earlier
certification did not include on-site leased workers from
Manpower, those workers will be covered under TA-W-75,227A with
the impact date being one full year before the petition date.
There were no leased workers from Career Personnel on-site at
the subject firm during the relevant period.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,227 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Dana Structural Manufacturing, LLC,
Structures Division, Longview, Texas, (TA-W-75,227) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 11, 2010, through February 18, 2013, 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;
AND
All leased workers from Manpower working on-site at Dana

partially separated from employment on or after February
10, 2010, through February 18, 2013, and all workers in the

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 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 a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Dana Structural Manufacturing, LLC,
Structures Division, Longview, Texas. The workers produce
pick-up truck frames for vehicles. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dana Structural
Manufacturing, LLC, who are engaged in employment related to
production of pick-up truck frames, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Dana Structural
Manufacturing, LLC produced and sold pick-up truck frames to a
firm that employed a TAA-certified worker group, and the pick-
up truck frames were related to the articles that were the
basis for certification.
Criterion III has been met because the pick-up truck
frames produced for the firm that employed a TAA-certified
worker group accounted for at least 20 percent of the total
sales and production at the Longview, Texas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Structural
Manufacturing, LLC, Structures Division, Longview, Texas, who
are engaged in employment related to the production of pick-up
truck frames 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 Dana Structural Manufacturing, LLC,
Structures Division, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower, Longview, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
10, 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.”
