Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on January
10, 2003, applicable to workers of Tillotson Healthcare
Corporation, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2003 (68 FR
6211).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of medical examination gloves.
New information shows that Dynarex Corporation purchased
Tillotson Healthcare Corporation on January 30, 2003. The
subject firms’ Dixville Notch, New Hampshire location is now
known as North Country Manufacturing. Workers separated from
employment at the Dixville Notch, New Hampshire location had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account for North Country Manufacturing.
Information also shows that worker separation occurred at
the Rochester, New Hampshire location of Tillotson Healthcare
Corporation. The workers provide distribution and warehousing
services for the Dixville Notch, New Hampshire production
facility of the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect these matters.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Tillotson Healthcare Corporation who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,402 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Tillotson Healthcare Corporation, now
known as North Country Manufacturing, Dixville Notch,
New Hampshire (TA-W-50,402) and Tillotson Healthcare
Corporation, Rochester, New Hampshire (TA-W-50,402A),
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 21, 2001, through
January 10, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 12th day of August 2003.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on December 23, 2002 and filed by on behalf of workers at
Tillotson Healthcare Corporation, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.
Workers at the subject facility produce medical examination gloves.
Investigative findings revealed that subject firm’s sales,
production and employment declined January through October 2002, as
compared with the same time period in 2001.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of medical examination gloves during the period
under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Tillotson
Healthcare Corporation, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production and at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Tillotson Healthcare Corporation, Dixville
Notch, New Hampshire who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 21, 2001 through two
years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of January, 2003.
