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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 20, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Delphi Connection Systems US, Inc., a subsidiary of
Delphi Corporation, Mount Union, Pennsylvania (Delphi). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of automotive electrical terminals. The subject worker group
includes workers whose wages were reported through FCI Automotive
USA, Inc. and on-site leased workers from Manpower.
The worker group, Delphi Connection Systems US, Inc., a
subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, Mount Union, Pennsylvania, was
acquired from FCI Automotive USA, Inc., formerly known as FCI
USA, LLC. The workers of FCI USA, LLC, Mount Union, Pennsylvania
was certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) under petition number TA-W-73,157, which expired on January
22, 2012.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Delphi.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Delphi Connection
Systems US, Inc., a subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower, including workers whose
wages were reported through FCI Automotive USA, Inc., Mount
Union, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of automotive electrical terminals 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 Delphi Connection Systems US, Inc., a
subsidiary of Delphi Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, including workers whose wages were
reported through FCI Automotive USA, Inc., Mount Union,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 23, 2012 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 29th day of November, 2012.
