Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
The Department adopted a new interpretation regarding the
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) program in order to
provide equitable access to ATAA for worker groups whose petitions
were still in process at the time of implementation of the ATAA
program on August 6, 2003. Under this new interpretation, worker
groups covered by the certification of a petition that was in
process on August 6, 2003 may request ATAA consideration for the
certified worker group. In addition, certified worker groups who
filed petitions after that date may also request ATAA if the
petition did not include an option to apply for ATAA. The request
must be made to the Department and may be made by anyone who was
entitled to file the original petition under section 221(a)(1) of
the Act.
By letter dated December 14, 2004, the company official
requested ATAA consideration for workers at the subject firm
located in Wrightstown, Wisconsin.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246(a)(3)(A) of the Trade Act must be met. The
Department has determined in this case that the requirements have
been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject worker group
possesses skills that are not easily transferable in the local
area, and that at least five percent of the workforce at the
subject firm is at least fifty years of age. Industry data show
that competitive conditions within the glove industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained on investigation, I
conclude that the requirements of Section 246(a)(3)(A) of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject
firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Carbo Minerals, LP, Wrightstown, Wisconsin who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 31, 2003 through April 23, 2006 are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on April 13, 2004 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Carbo Minerals, LP, Wrightstown, Wisconsin.
The workers produce calcium carbonate for papermaking.
The investigation revealed that Carbo Minerals, LP,
Wrightstown, Wisconsin supplies calcium carbonate for papermaking,
and at least 20 percent of its production or sales is supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Carbo Minerals, LP,
Wrightstown, Wisconsin qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Carbo Minerals, LP, Wrightstown, Wisconsin who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 31, 2003, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
