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 November 27, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of the Accounts Payable Department and the Accounts
Receivable Department of KEMET Electronics Corporation,
Simpsonville, South Carolina. The workers in each department
fulfill accounting services for the subject 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with accounts payable and
accounts receivable by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at KEMET Electronics
Corporation, Simpsonville, South Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Accounts
Payable Department and the Accounts Receivable Department of
KEMET Electronics Corporation, Simpsonville, South Carolina,
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 Department and the
Accounts Receivable Department of KEMET Electronics
Corporation, Simpsonville, South Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 26, 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 14th day of December, 2012.
