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; and
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and
(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 14, 2013 on behalf of workers of General Motors
Components Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of General Motors,
Kokomo, Indiana. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of automotive electronic devices and
non-automotive integrated circuits. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Development Dimensions
International (DDI).
Workers of General Motors Components Holdings, LLC, a
subsidiary of General Motors, Kokomo, Indiana, were determined
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
benefits under petition TA-W-73,689, which expired on August
4, 2012.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's customer.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales or
production of articles produced by General Motors Components
Holdings have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by General Motors Components Holdings have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
General Motors Components Holdings.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors
Components Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of General Motors,
including on-site leased workers from Development Dimensions
International (DDI), Kokomo, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of automotive electronic
devices and non-automotive integrated circuits 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 General Motors Components Holdings, LLC, a
subsidiary of General Motors, including on-site leased
workers from Development Dimensions International (DDI),
Kokomo, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 5, 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 20th day of May, 2013.
