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 May 1, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of BFGoodrich Tire Manufacturing (BFG4), Michelin North
America, Inc. Manufacturing Division, a subsidiary of Michelin
North America, Inc., Woodburn, Indiana (BFG4). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of tires
for the aftermarket and military, and also produces semi-
finished materials for MNAI. The subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Capstone Logistics, LLC and Newbold
Services.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at BFG4.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BFGoodrich Tire
Manufacturing (BFG4), Michelin North America, Inc.
Manufacturing Division, a subsidiary of Michelin North
America, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Capstone
Logistics, LLC and Newbold Services, Woodburn, Indiana, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of tires for the
aftermarket and military, and also produces semi-finished
materials for MNAI 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 BFGoodrich Tire Manufacturing (BFG4),
Michelin North America, Inc. Manufacturing Division, a
subsidiary of Michelin North America, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Capstone Logistics, LLC and
Newbold Services, Woodburn, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 30,
2019, 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 16th day of November 2020.
