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 January 30, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Yanfeng US Automotive Interior Systems 1, LLC,
Highland Park, Michigan (Yanfeng US Automotive Interior
Systems 1, LLC). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of automotive interior sets
(instrumental panel and doors) for FCA Dodge Ram 1500 Truck.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Malone and Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioner, and the major
declining customer(s) of the workers' firm.
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 automotive interior sets (instrumental
panel and doors) for FCA Dodge Ram 1500 Truck by Yanfeng US
Automotive Interior Systems 1, LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Yanfeng US Automotive Interior Systems 1,
LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Yanfeng US Automotive Interior Systems 1, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Yanfeng US Automotive
Interior Systems 1, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Malone and Manpower, Highland Park, Michigan, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of automotive interior
sets (instrumental panel and doors) for FCA Dodge Ram 1500 Truck
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 Yanfeng US Automotive Interior Systems 1,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Malone and
Manpower, Highland Park, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 17,
2017, 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 10th day of May 2018.
