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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 15, 2019, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Danville
Facility, including on-site leased workers from Diversified
Maintenance, Danville Orthopedic & Athletic Rehab (DOAR), Guy
M. Turner, InnoSource Inc., PeopleSolutions, Inc., Securitas,
SourcePRO Inc., and Technical Professionals Group, Danville,
Virginia ("Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Danville") The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of medium radial truck tires and airplane tires.
The investigation revealed that on February 19, 2019, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of subject imports
of truck and bus tires from China. A petition has been filed on
behalf of workers of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Danville.
That firm was publicly identified by name by the International
Trade Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of determination that is
listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In
addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on February 19, 2019, which is within one year of the
date of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) certification. Workers separations occurred
during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Danville Facility, including on-site leased
workers from Diversified Maintenance, Danville Orthopedic &
Athletic Rehab (DOAR), Guy M. Turner, InnoSource Inc.,
PeopleSolutions, Inc., Securitas, SourcePRO Inc., and
Technical Professionals Group, Danville, Virginia, engaged in
activities related to the production of medium radial truck
tires and airplane tires meet the requirements of Section
222(e) of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
Danville Facility, including on-site leased workers from
Diversified Maintenance, Danville Orthopedic & Athletic
Rehab (DOAR), Guy M. Turner, InnoSource Inc.,
PeopleSolutions, Inc., Securitas, SourcePRO Inc., and
Technical Professionals Group, Danville, Virginia, who
became totally or partially separated from that employment
on or after February 19, 2018, through the date of the
certification and who become totally or partially separated
from that employment from the date of the certification
through February 19, 2020, 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 April 2019.
