Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 on June 7, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Georgia-Pacific
Corporation, Consumer Products Division, Green Bay Broadway
Facility, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Workers at the subject firm
produce napkins, tissue, towels, wipers and parent rolls and
workers are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm leased
some of its production workers from Encadria Staffing Solutions,
Green Bay, Wisconsin during the relevant period.
The investigation revealed that production declined from
2002 to 2003 and that employment declined during the period
under investigation.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customers regarding their purchases of napkins,
tissue, towels, wipers or parent rolls. This survey revealed
increases in imports of napkins, tissue, towels, wipers and
parent rolls during the period under investigation.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26
USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The
Department has determined in this case that the requirements of
Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with napkins, tissue, towels,
wipers and parent rolls produced at Georgia-Pacific Corporation,
Consumer Products Division, Green Bay Broadway Facility, Green
Bay, Wisconsin 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 Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer
Products Division, Green Bay Broadway Facility, including
on-site leased workers from Encadria Staffing Solutions,
Green Bay, Wisconsin who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 7, 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, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of August, 2004.
