DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-82,531]


Apex Tool Group, LLC, A Subsidiary of Bain Capital, North 
American Hand Tools Operations, Including On-Site Leased Workers From 
1st Employment Staffing, TEC Staffing Services and Kelly Staffing 
Services, Springdale, Arkansas; 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 April 8, 2013, applicable to workers of Apex Tool Group, LLC, a 
subsidiary of Bain Capital, North American Hand Tools Operations, 
including on-site leased workers from TEC Staffing Services and Kelly 
Staffing Services, Springdale, Arkansas. The Department of Labor 
published the Notice of Determination in the Federal Register on May 
15, 2013 (78 FR 28636).
    At the request of the company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in activities related to the production of tool set kits and 
horseshoes.
    The company reports that workers leased from 1st Employment 
Staffing were on-site at the Springdale, Arkansas location of Apex Tool 
Group, LLC. The Department has determined that these workers were 
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered 
leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from 1st Employment Staffing 
working on-site at the Springdale, Arkansas location of Apex Tool 
Group, LLC.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,531 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Apex Tool Group, LLC, a subsidiary Of Bain 
Capital, North American Hand Tools Operations, including on-site 
leased workers from 1st Employment Staffing, TEC Staffing Services 
and Kelly Staffing Services, Springdale, Arkansas, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 6, 
2012 through April 8, 2015, 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, DC, this 10th day of March, 2015.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
