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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation. (Set forth in Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 15, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Key Plastics, LLC, Exterior Division, Hartford City,
Indiana (Key Plastics Hartford City). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of plastic molded automotive
components. The worker group, Key Plastics Hartford City, includes
on-site leased workers from All Star Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Key Plastics
Hartford City, who are engaged in activities related to
production of plastic molded automotive components, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated or are threatened with total or partial
separation.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift in
production of plastic molded automotive components by Key Plastics
Hartford City to foreign countries.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production of
plastic molded automotive components by Key Plastics Hartford City
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Key
Plastics Hartford City.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Key Plastics, LLC,
Exterior Division, including on-site leased workers from All Star
Staffing, Hartford City, Indiana, who are engaged in activities
related to production of plastic molded automotive components,
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 Key Plastics, LLC, Exterior Division,
including on-site leased workers from All Star Staffing,
Hartford City, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 14, 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 16th day of March, 2011
