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.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 7, 2017 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of BorgWarner Thermal Systems Inc., a subsidiary of
BorgWarner Inc., Cadillac, Michigan (BorgWarmer Thermal Systems).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of engine cooling systems for commercial vehicles.
The subject worker group does not include on-site leased workers.
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 workers of
BorgWarner Thermal Systems is a Supplier to a firm (or
subdivision, whichever is applicable) 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 production is
related to the actual finished article or service that was the
basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by the workers' firm with the aforementioned firm
contributed importantly to worker separations at BorgWarner
Thermal Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BorgWarner Thermal
Systems, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of engine cooling systems for commercial vehicles, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of BorgWarner Thermal Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc., Cadillac, 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 14th day of July 2017.
