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 December 18, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Federal-Mogul Corporation, Vehicle Component Solutions
Division, Smithville, Tennessee. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to production of light vehicle disc brake pads
for original equipment and aftermarket applications.
Workers of Federal-Mogul Corporation, Vehicle Component
Solutions Division, including leased workers from Kelly Services,
Smithville, Tennessee were covered under a certification (TA-W-
73,353) that expired on November 10, 2012. That certification
did not include on-site leased workers from Seatoncorp.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Federal-
Mogul Corporation, Vehicle Component Solutions Division,
Smithville, Tennessee.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Federal-Mogul
Corporation, Vehicle Component Solutions Division, Smithville,
Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related to production of
light vehicle disc brake pads, 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 Federal-Mogul Corporation, Vehicle Component
Solutions Division, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Smithville, Tennessee, (TA-W-82,269) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 12, 2012, 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 Seatoncorp, working on-site at
Federal-Mogul Corporation, Vehicle Component Solutions
Division, Smithville, Tennessee, (TA-W-82,269A) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 18, 2011, 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 7th day of January, 2013
