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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 12, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance Organization,
Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-80,429) and Kelly Services,
working on-site at Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance
Organization, Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-80,429A)
(Kennametal). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounts payable and accounts
receivable services.
Workers of Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance
Organization, Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-80,429), were
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
under petition number TA-W-70,574, which expired on June 17,
2011. Workers of Kelly Services, working on-site at
Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance Organization, Latrobe,
Pennsylvania were not included in that certification.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance Organization, Latrobe,
Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kennametal, Inc.,
Kennametal Finance Organization, Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
80,429) and Kelly Services, working on-site at Kennametal,
Inc., Kennametal Finance Organization, Latrobe, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-80,429A), who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of accounts payable and accounts receivable 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 Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance
Organization, Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-80,429), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 18, 2011, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on December 20,
2011 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,
AND
All workers of Kelly Services, working on-site at
Kennametal, Inc., Kennametal Finance Organization,
Latrobe, Pennsylvania (TA-W-80,429A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
September 9, 2010, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on December 20,
2011 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 14th day of December, 2011.
