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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of Advance Auto
Business Support, LLC, Expense Accounts Payable Division, a
subsidiary of Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, Roanoke,
Virginia (Advance Auto Roanoke). The workers provide expense
accounts payable services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Advance Auto
Roanoke who are engaged in employment related to expense
accounts payable services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers in the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been an
acquisition from a foreign country by the workers' firm of
services that are like or directly competitive with those
supplied by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
expense accounts payable services supplied from India by
Advance Auto Roanoke contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Advance Auto Roanoke.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Advance Auto Business
Support, LLC, Expense Accounts Payable Division, a subsidiary
of Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, Roanoke, Virginia,
who are engaged in employment related to expense accounts
payable services 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 Advance Auto Business Support, LLC,
Expense Accounts Payable Division, a subsidiary of
Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, Roanoke, Virginia,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 18, 2008, through two years from the
date of 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, D.C., this 10th day of March, 2010.
