Federal Register on April 15, 2016 (81 FR 22317).
At the request of Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.,

that workers leased from Allied Barton Security Services were
employed on-site at the Normal, Illinois location of Mitsubishi

The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the operational control of Mitsubishi Motors

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 October 6, 2015 on behalf of workers of Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation, Manufacturing Division, Normal, Illinois. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of passenger automobiles. The worker group is also inclusive
of on-site leased workers from ETG, HRU Technical Resources,
Kelly Temporary Services, Randstad Technologies (formerly
Technisource) and STL Commercial Staffing (formerly Firstaff).
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 Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., a
subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Manufacturing
Division, Normal, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mitsubishi Motors
North America, Inc., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation, Manufacturing Division, including on-site leased
workers from ETG, HRU Technical Resources, Kelly Temporary
Services, Randstad Technologies (formerly Technisource) and
STL Commercial Staffing (formerly Firstaff), Normal, Illinois,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
passenger automobiles 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 Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., a
subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation,
Manufacturing Division, including on-site leased workers
from ETG, HRU Technical Resources, Kelly Temporary
Services, Randstad Technologies (formerly Technisource)
and STL Commercial Staffing (formerly Firstaff), Normal,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 6, 2014 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 13th day of November 2015.
