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 7, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Inteva Products, LLC, a subsidiary of The Renco
Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from The Bartech
Group, Adrian, Michigan ("Inteva Products, LLC"). The subject
worker group is engaged in activities related to the production
of instrument panels for the automotive industry.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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
and/or production of instrument panels for the automotive
industry by Inteva Products, LLC have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Inteva Products, LLC 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
Inteva Products, LLC.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Inteva Products, LLC,
a subsidiary of The Renco Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from The Bartech Group, Adrian, Michigan, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of
instrument panels for the automotive industry 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 Inteva Products, LLC, a subsidiary of The
Renco Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
The Bartech Group, Adrian, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 6,
2016 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 25th day of July 2017.
