Certification Regarding Eligibility

To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("the Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
("Department") herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance ("TAA") for workers.

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, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) petition dated April 29, 2022 and
filed on May 2, 2022, by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
former workers of Autoline Industries Indiana LLC, D/B/A CJ
Automotive Indiana LLC, a subsidiary of CJ Holdings NA LLC USA,
a subsidiary of CJ Dalstrop Holding AB, Butler, Indiana
(hereafter referred to as the "worker group" or "Autoline/CJ
Automotive-Butler"). In accordance with 20 C.F.R. 618.110 a worker
group is defined as, ""¦inclusive of teleworkers and staffed
workers." The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
production of motor vehicle metal stampings. The petition alleges
that worker separations, or threats thereof, were due to a shift
in production to a foreign country.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and other
sources.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Autoline/CJ Automotive-Butler have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and/or
production at Autoline/CJ Automotive-Butler have decreased during
the one-year period prior to the petition date.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
stampings, or like or directly competitive articles, have
increased during the relevant period when compared to the
representative base period.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
imports contributed importantly to the worker group separations
and sales/production declines at Autoline/CJ Automotive-Butler.

ALTERNATIVE TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (Act), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if
the following criteria have been met:

(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).

The Department has determined that criterion II has not been
met. the workers in Autoline/CJ Automotive-Butler do not possess
skills that are not easily transferable.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Autoline/CJ Automotive-
Butler, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
motor vehicle metal stampings, 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 Autoline Industries Indiana LLC, D/B/A CJ
Automotive Indiana LLC, a subsidiary of CJ Holdings NA LLC
USA, a subsidiary of CJ Dalstorp Holding AB, Butler,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 29, 2021 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, and are not eligible to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 11th day of May, 2022
