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 October 21, 2016, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Prestolite Electric Incorporated, a subsidiary of
Broad Ocean Motor, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Adecco, Arcade, New York (Prestolite). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of alternator
and starter motors. The subject worker group includes remote
workers reporting from various locations throughout the United
States.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Prestolite 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 automotive alternator and
starter motors produced by the subject workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Prestolite.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Prestolite, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of alternator
and starter motors, 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 Prestolite Electric Incorporated, a
subsidiary of Broad Ocean Motor, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Arcade, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 20, 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 22nd day of November 2016.
