Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on October 18, 2013, applicable to leased workers from
Logistics Resources, Inc., Adecco, LSI Staffing, Zero Chaos, Apollo,
Butler, CTS, Foster Design, Hi-Tek Professionals, Johnson Services
Group, Mindlance, Moten Tate, Inc., Manpower, PDS Technical Services,
Spencer Reed Group, Strom Aviation, Systemart, Total Technical Services,
Vayu, Inc., and Volt Technical Resources, working on-site at Spirit
Aerosystems, Inc., Wichita, Kansas. The Department’s Notice of
Determination was published in the Federal Register on November 6,
2013 (79 FR 32328).

At the request of a State Workforce Official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the production of aero-structures.

The investigation confirmed that workers leased from
Logistics Resources, Inc., Adecco and LSI Staffing were employed
on-site at Spirit Aerosystems, Inc., Wichita, Kansas. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Logistics Resources,
Inc., Adecco and LSI Staffing, working on-site at the Wichita,
Kansas location of Spirit Aerosystems, Inc.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,044 is hereby issued as follows:

“All workers of Spirit Aerosystems, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Logistics Resources, Inc., Adecco, LSI Staffing,
Zero Chaos, Apollo, Butler, CTS, Foster Design, Hi-Tek Professionals,
Johnson Services Group, Mindlance, Moten Tate, Inc., Manpower, PDS
Technical Services, Spencer Reed Group, Strom Aviation, Systemart,
Total Technical Services, Vayu, Inc., and Volt Technical Resources,
Wichita, Kansas, (TA-W-83,044) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 29, 2012, through October
18, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from the date of certification through October 18, 2015,
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 31st day of March, 2015.

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 August 30, 2013 by the Society of Professional
Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) IFPTE, Local 2001, on
behalf of workers of Spirit Aerosystems, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Zero Chaos, Apollo, Butler, CTS, Foster
Design, Hi-Tek Professionals, Johnson Services Group, Mindlance,
Moten Tate, Inc., Manpower, PDS Technical Services, Spencer Reed
Group, Strom Aviation, Systemart, Total Technical Services,
Vayu, Inc., and Volt Technical Resources, Wichita, Kansas
(Spirit Aerosystems, Inc.). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of aero-structures. An
aero-structure is a component of an aircraft's airframe.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 Hemlock
Semiconductor 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
polycrystalline silicon components produced by Spirit
Aerosystems, Inc., for the firm that employed a certified
worker group accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of Spirit Aerosystems, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Spirit Aerosystems,
Inc., Wichita, Kansas, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of aero-structures 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 Spirit Aerosystems, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Zero Chaos, Apollo, Butler, CTS, Foster
Design, Hi-Tek Professionals, Johnson Services Group,
Mindlance, Moten Tate, Inc., Manpower, PDS Technical
Services, Spencer Reed Group, Strom Aviation, Systemart,
Total Technical Services, Vayu, Inc., and Volt Technical
Resources, Wichita, Kansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 29, 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 18th day of October, 2013.
