DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-82,375]


Apex Tool Group, LLC; Gastonia Operation Division; Including On-
Site Leased Workers From Adecco USA, Aerotek Commercial Staffing and 
IDG USA, LLC; Gastonia, North Carolina; Amended 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 issued a 
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance 
on February 27, 2013, applicable to workers of Apex Tool Group, LLC, 
Gastonia operation Division, including on-site leased workers from 
Adecco USA and Aerotek Commercial Staffing, Gastonia, North Carolina. 
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production of 
mechanic's hand tool sets. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on March 26, 2013 (78 FR 18367).
    Based on information obtained during a pending investigation for 
TA-W-82,881, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of 
the subject firm. New information from the company shows that workers 
leased from IDG USA, LLC were employed on-site at the Gastonia 
Operation Division of Apex Tool Group, LLC, Gastonia, North Carolina. 
The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently 
under the control of Apex Tool Group, LLC, Gastonia Operation Division 
to be considered leased workers.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift in 
the production of mechanic's hand tool sets to a foreign country.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from IDG USA, LLC working on-
site within the Gastonia Operation Division at the Gastonia, North 
Carolina location of the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,375 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers from Apex Tool Group, LLC, Gastonia Operation 
Division, including on-site leased workers from Adecco USA, Aerotek 
Commercial Staffing, and IDG USA, LLC, Gastonia, North Carolina, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
January 25, 2012, through February 27, 2015, and all workers in the 
group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 
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 at Washington, DC this 16th day of August, 2013.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
