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.

"Firm includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in bankruptcy,
and receiver under decree of any court." 29 CFR 90.2
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 27, 2016, by the United Steel Workers, Local 9532,
on behalf of workers of Dana Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing LLC,
a subsidiary of Dana Holding Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Bluegrass and Associates and Ahead Staffing, Glasgow,
Kentucky (Dana). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of axle operation components for
commercial vehicles.
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 Dana 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 articles like
or directly competitive with the axle operation components
produced by the subject workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Dana.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Commercial Vehicle
Manufacturing LLC, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of axle operation components for commercial vehicles,
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 Dana Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing LLC, a
subsidiary of Dana Holding Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Bluegrass and Associates and Ahead
Staffing, Glasgow, Kentucky, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 26, 2015 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 5th day of August 2016.
