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 23, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of TI Automotive, Ltd., FCS (Fluid Carrying System)
Division, Cynthiana, Kentucky (TI Automotive). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
single wall and push rods tubes. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Elwood Staffing.
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 TI Automotive.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TI Automotive,
Ltd., FCS (Fluid Carrying System) Division, including on-site
leased workers from Elwood, Cynthiana, Kentucky, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of single wall
and push rods tubes 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 TI Automotive, Ltd., FCS (Fluid Carrying
System) Division, including on-site leased workers from
Elwood Staffing, Cynthiana, Kentucky, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
November 21, 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 19th day of December, 2012.
