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 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 July 6, 2005 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Green Printing and
Packaging Co., Fulfillment Department, Lexington, North
Carolina. The workers at the subject facility produce kitted
packaged printed materials and are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined absolutely in January through May 2005, when compared
to the same time period the previous year.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject facility's
major declining customer regarding its purchases of kitted
packaged printed materials. This survey revealed increases in
imports of kitted packaged printed materials during the period
under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with kitted packaged printed
materials produced by Green Printing and Packaging Co.,
Fulfillment Department, Lexington, North Carolina, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:



"All workers of Green Printing and Packaging Co.,
Fulfillment Department, Lexington, North Carolina,
including on-site leased workers of Stewart and Ablest, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 29, 2004, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of August, 2005.
