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, 2020, by a state workforce office on behalf of
the workers of Autoneum North America, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek Staffing and Recruiting,
Jeffersonville, Indiana. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of fiber and carpet for
noise and heat protection. End use for these products are for
incorporation into motor vehicles.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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)(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 articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to the worker group separations at
Autoneum North America, Inc., Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Autoneum North America,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek Staffing and
Recruiting, Jeffersonville, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of fiber and carpet for
noise and heat protection, 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 Autoneum North America, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek Staffing and Recruiting,
Jeffersonville, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 27, 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 12th day of February, 2021
