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 October 7, 2005 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Beiersdorf, Inc., Futoro Manufacturing Division, Mariemont, Ohio.
The workers manufacture personal health support products such as
knee, ankle, wrist, and back support systems for the injured, i.e.,
arm slings, leg braces, etc. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment and production at
the subject firm declined in January through September 2005 when
compared with the same time period of 2004.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of personal health support products during the
relevant period.
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 personal health support products
produced by Beiersdorf, Inc., Futoro Manufacturing Division,
Mariemont, Ohio 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 Beiersdorf, Inc., Futoro Manufacturing
Division, Mariemont, Ohio who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 3, 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 31st day of October 2005
