Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary of Ford Motor 
Company, Saline Plant Division, Including Workers Whose Wages Were 
Reported Under Ford Company, Visteon, MSX International, W.J. O'Neil 
Company, and Unibar, Saline, MI; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On October 7, 2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary 
of Ford Motor Company, Saline Plant Division, Saline, Michigan (subject 
firm) to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The Department's 
Notice was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 
65514). The workers are engaged in employment related to the production 
of interior automotive component parts. The worker group includes 
workers whose wages were reported under Ford Company, Visteon, MSX 
International, W.J. O'Neil Company, and Unibar.
    New information provided by subject firm officials, the United 
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America 
(UAW), Local 1124, and the State of Michigan workforce officials, 
revealed that workers and former workers of the subject firm, including 
workers whose wages were reported under Ford Company, Visteon, MSX 
International, W.J. O'Neil Company, and Unibar, meet the certification 
criteria.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
additional information regarding the subject firm's staffing 
arrangements with Ford Company and Visteon and how the Saline, Michigan 
facility operated in conjunction with affiliated production facilities, 
including those that have employed worker groups eligible to apply for 
TAA.
    Criterion I has been met because a significant number or proportion 
of workers at the subject firm were totally separated.
    Criterion II has been met because sales and production of interior 
automotive component parts at the subject firm decreased absolutely 
during the relevant period.
    Criterion III has been met because imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with the interior automotive component parts 
produced by Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary of Ford 
Motor Company, Saline Plant Division, Saline, Michigan, increased 
during the relevant period and contributed importantly to worker 
separations at the Saline, Michigan facility.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers and former workers of 
Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary of Ford Motor 
Company, Saline Plant Division, Saline, Michigan, who are engaged in 
employment related to the production of interior automotive component 
parts, 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 Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary 
of Ford Motor Company, Saline Plant Division, including workers 
whose wages were reported under Ford Company, Visteon, MSX 
International, W.J. O'Neil Company, and Unibar, Saline, Michigan, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 13, 2008, through two years from the date of this 
revised certification, and all workers in the group threatened with 
total or partial separation from employment on 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, DC, this 2nd day of May, 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
