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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 13, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers at Jamestown Industries, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Mancan, Inc., Youngstown, Ohio (subject firm). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of bumper covers/fascia for automobiles.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Jamestown Industries,
Inc., Youngstown, Ohio have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because the worker' firm
supplied component parts to a firm that employed a group of
workers who received a certification of eligibility under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
is related to the actual finished article or service that was
the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by the subject firm with the aforementioned firm
contributed importantly to worker separations at Jamestown
Industries, Inc., Youngstown, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jamestown Industries,
Inc., Youngstown, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of bumper covers/fascia, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Jamestown Industries, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Mancan, Inc., Youngstown, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 12, 2016, 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 13th day of April 2018.
