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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) 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;

(2) 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

(3) 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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), 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 January 11, 2013 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Dana Structural Manufacturing LLC, Structures
Division, Longview, Texas. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of pick-up truck frames.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
Workers of Dana Structural Manufacturing LLC, Structures
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower
Longview, Texas, are certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under petition number TA-W-75,227. That certification
will expire on February 18, 2013.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Dana Structural
Manufacturing LLC, Structures Division, Longview, Texas is a
Supplier 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 is related to the finished
article that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the loss of
business by the workers' firm with a firm that employed a
certified worker group contributed importantly to worker
separations at of Dana Structural Manufacturing LLC, Structures
Division, Longview, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Structural
Manufacturing LLC, Structures Division, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Longview, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of pick-up truck frames meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(b) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). 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 become totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 19, 2013
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on February 19, 2013 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 18th day of January, 2013
