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 July 14, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Kelsey-
Hayes Company, Braking and Suspension Division, Fenton,
Missouri. The workers produced front and rear suspensions,
springs, and struts for automobiles.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Volt
Services Group, Crown Services, Inc., Aerotek, and American
Staffing.
Employment at the subject firm has declined significantly
since December 2007.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm supplies
component parts for automobiles, and that all of its production
or sales are supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for trade 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 Kelsey-Hayes Company,
Braking and Suspension Division, Fenton, Missouri, including on-
site leased workers of Volt Services Group, Crown Services,
Inc., Aerotek, and American Staffing, 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 Kelsey-Hayes Company, Braking and
Suspension Division, Fenton, Missouri, including on-site
leased workers of Volt Services Group, Crown Services,
Inc., Aerotek, and American Staffing, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 11,
2007 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 at Washington, D.C., this 16th day of July 2008.
