KEY PLASTICS LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM TEMPSTAR STAFFING
YORK, PENNSYLVANIA

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 an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a
secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended,
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 4, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Key
Plastics LLC, York, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
automotive interior decorative trim.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from TempStar Staffing in York, Pennsylvania.
Employment at the subject firm declined in January through
February 2008 when compared with the same period in 2007.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm supplies
component parts for interior automotive electronic parts, and at
least 20 percent of its production or sales is supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26
USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
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 firm are age 50 or
over and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Key Plastics LLC,
York, Pennsylvania qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Key Plastics LLC, including on-site leased
workers from TempStar Staffing, York, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 3, 2007 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance 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."
