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 August 17, 2017 on behalf of workers of Fargo Assembly
of Mississippi, LLC, a subsidiary of Electrical Components
International, Inc., Kosciusko, Mississippi (Fargo Assembly of
Mississippi). Workers of Fargo Assembly of Mississippi are
engaged in activities related to the production of electrical
wiring harnesses. The subject worker group does not include
on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner(s).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Fargo Assembly of
Mississippi 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 electrical wiring
harnesses produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Fargo Assembly of Mississippi.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fargo Assembly of
Mississippi, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of electrical wiring harnesses, 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 Fargo Assembly of Mississippi, LLC, a
subsidiary of Electrical Components International, Inc.,
Kosciusko, Mississippi, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 16, 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 30th day of September 2017.
