Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
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 have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

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

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm 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.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 3, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hesco Parts, LLC, Louisville, Kentucky (Hesco
Parts). The workers produce remanufactured parts for the
automotive industry. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hesco Parts who
are engaged in employment related to the remanufactured parts
for the automotive industry meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because at least 5 percent
of workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of remanufactured parts for the automotive
industry by Hesco Parts have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with
remanufactured parts for the automotive industry by Hesco
Parts have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of remanufactured parts for the
automotive industry by customers of Hesco Parts contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Hesco Parts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hesco Parts, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Louisville, Kentucky, who are engaged in employment related to
remanufactured parts for the automotive industry 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 Hesco Parts, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services, Louisville, Kentucky, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 28, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the 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, D.C., this 25th day of August, 2009.
