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 December 5, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of the Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc., Accounts
Payable and Accounts Receivable Office, Exeter, Pennsylvania.
The workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
accounting services. Workers of the firm may have their wages
reported under four FEIN numbers: 23-2950980, Keystone
Automotive Operations, Inc.; 20-4438511, Keystone Automotive
Distributors Company; 23-3001870, A&A Auto Parts Store, Inc.;
and 23-2996020, Keystone Automotive Operations Midwest.
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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the accounting services
supplied by the workers, which contribute importantly to worker
group separations at Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Keystone Automotive
Operations, Inc., Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
Office, Exeter, Pennsylvania who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounting 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 Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
Office of Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc., including
leased on-site workers of All Star Staffing Group,
Manpower, and Kelly Services, Exeter, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 13, 2010, 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 11th day of January, 2012.
