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 March 21, 2018 by a State Workforce Official on behalf
of workers of Transamerican Auto Parts, also known as TAP
Worldwide LLC, also known as 4 Wheel Parts, a subsidiary of
Polaris Industries, Inc., Accounts Payable and Receivable
Support group, including on-site leased workers from Randstad,
Accounting Principals and Interstate Personal Service, Compton,
California. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the supply, sale and installation of aftermarket automotive
parts and accessories for jeeps, trucks and related off-road use
vehicles. The subject worker group is engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounts payable and receivable support
services at the corporate office in Compton, California.
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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Transamerican Auto Parts, also known as TAP
Worldwide LLC, also known as 4 Wheel Parts, a subsidiary of
Polaris Industries, Inc., Accounts Payable and Receivable
Support group, Compton, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Transamerican Auto
Parts, also known as TAP Worldwide LLC, also known as 4 Wheel
Parts, a subsidiary of Polaris Industries, Inc., Accounts
Payable and Receivable Support group, including on-site leased
workers from Randstad, Accounting Principals and Interstate
Personal Service, Compton, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of accounts payable and
receivable support 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 Transamerican Auto Parts, also known as TAP
Worldwide LLC, also known as 4 Wheel Parts, a subsidiary of
Polaris Industries, Inc., Accounts Payable and Receivable
Support group, including on-site leased workers from
Randstad, Accounting Principals and Interstate Personal
Service, Compton, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 20,
2017, 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 13th day of April 2018.
