Amended Notice of 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on April 7, 2005,
applicable to workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging &
Printed Group-Technology Platforms Division, including on-site
leased workers of Chimes, Inc., Corvallis, Oregon. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2005 (70 FR
25862).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker separation occurred involving an
employee of the Corvallis, Oregon facility of the Imaging &
Printing Group-Technology Platforms Division of Hewlett-Packard
Company located in Chino, California. Ms. Sheri Milne provided
various support services for the production of inkjet cartridges
for small desktop printers at the Corvallis, Oregon location of
the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of the Corvallis, Oregon
facility of the Imaging & Printing Group-Technology Platforms
Division of Hewlett-Packard Company located in Chimes,
California.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging & Printing Group-
Technology Platforms Division, Corvallis, Oregon, who were
adversely affected by a shift in production to Singapore.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-56,696 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging &
Printing Group-Technology Platforms Division, including
on-site leased workers of Chimes, Inc., Corvallis,
Oregon (TA-W-56,696), including an employee of Hewlett-
Packard Company, Imaging & Printing Group-Technology
Platforms Division, Corvallis, Oregon located in Chino,
California (TA-W-56,696A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March
7, 2004, through April 7, 2007, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and 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 and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 8, 2005, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging & Printing Group- Technology
Platforms Division, Corvallis, Oregon. The workers produce inkjet
cartridges for small desktop printers.
The investigation revealed that Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging &
Printing Group-Technology Platforms Division, Corvallis, Oregon, also
leased workers from Chimes, Inc.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of inkjet cartridges for
small desktop printers to Singapore, a country party to a Free
Trade Agreement with the United States.
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 addition, 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 workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the inkjet cartridges industry are
adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging & Printing Group-Technology
Platforms Division, Corvallis, Oregon to Singapore of articles that
are like or directly competitive with inkjet cartridges for small
desktop printers produced by that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Imaging & Printing
Group-Technology Platforms Division, including on-site leased
workers of Chimes, Inc., Corvallis, Oregon, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 7,
2004, 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.”
