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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream
Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
or production is related to the article or service that
was the basis for such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the
component parts it supplied to the firm described in
paragraph (2) accounted for at least 20 percent of
the production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines
the term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies
directly to another firm component parts for articles, or
services used in the production of articles or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 20, 2012, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Kace International, LLC, 7170 General Motors
Boulevard, Shreveport, Louisiana (TA-W-81,434) and Kace
International, LLC, 5153 Interstate Drive, Shreveport,
Louisiana (TA-W-81,434A) (hereafter collectively referred to
as Kace International). The workers' firm supplies automotive
part sequencing services. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Career Adventures Employment Services.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Kace International have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because Kace International
is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to
the finished article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the services
supplied to the afore-mentioned firm accounted for at least 20
percent of the production or sales of Kace International.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers and former workers of
Kace International, LLC, 7170 General Motors Boulevard,
Shreveport, Louisiana (TA-W-81,434) and Kace International,
LLC, 5153 Interstate Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana (TA-W-
81,434A), who supply automotive part sequencing services, meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(b)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:


"All workers of Kace International, LLC, 7170 General
Motors Boulevard, including on-site leased workers from
Career Adventures Employment Services, Shreveport,
Louisiana (TA-W-81,434) and Kace International, LLC, 5153
Interstate Drive, including on-site leased workers from
Career Adventures Employment Services, Shreveport,
Louisiana (TA-W-81,434A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 19, 2011,
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 7th day of May, 2012
