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 July 27, 2018 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of International Automotive Components, a subsidiary
of IAC Group, Strasburg LLC Division, Strasburg, Virginia
(herein referred to as "IAC Strasburg"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of interior auto
parts, door panels and consoles.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at IAC Strasburg.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Automotive Components, a subsidiary of IAC Group, Strasburg
LLC Division, Strasburg, Virginia, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of interior auto parts,
door panels and consoles 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 International Automotive Components, a
subsidiary of IAC Group, Strasburg LLC Division,
Strasburg, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 28, 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 6th day of September 2018.
