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 July 8, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Advance Auto Business Support LLC,
Accounting Department, a subsidiary of Advance Stores Company,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Greene Resources,
Roanoke, Virginia (AABS/Accounting-Roanoke). Workers of
AABS/Accounting-Roanoke are engaged in activities related to the
supply of accounting support services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in AABS/Accounting-Roanoke 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 subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at AABS/Accounting-Roanoke.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AABS/Accounting-Roanoke
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 Advance Auto Business Support LLC,
Accounting Department, a subsidiary of Advance Stores
Company, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Greene
Resources, Roanoke, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 7, 2019 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 5th day of September 2020.
