Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 13, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Keystone Restyling Products, Production Facility,
Toledo, Ohio, and Keystone Restyling Products, Shipping/Receiving
Warehouse, Toledo, Ohio. The workers of the production facility
produce fiberglass automotive restyling products, including hoods,
spoilers, scoops, etc., and are not separately identifiable by
product. Workers at the warehouse were engaged in sales, shipping,
and receiving of the products made at the production facility.
The investigation revealed that a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject facilities were separated in
December 2004.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the
preponderance of declines in employment at the subject facilities
is related to a shift in production of fiberglass automotive
restyling products to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
In addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the facilities are age 50
or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
Keystone Restyling Products, Production Facility, Toledo, Ohio, to
Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those
produced by the subject facility. Moreover, this shift in
production contributed importantly to worker separations at
Keystone Restyling Products, Shipping/Receiving Warehouse, Toledo,
Ohio. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certifications:
"All workers of Keystone Restyling Products, Production
Facility, Toledo, Ohio (TA-W-56,212), and Keystone Restyling
Products, Shipping/Receiving Warehouse, Toledo, Ohio (TA-W-
56,212A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 7, 2003 through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
also 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 January 2005.
