DAY STREET FACILITY
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN

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 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 21, 2005,
applicable to workers of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer
Products Division, Green Bay, Wisconsin. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2005 (70 FR
74368). The certification was amended on July 11, 2006 to avoid
an overlap in worker group coverage. The notice will be
published soon in the Federal Register.
The Department, on its’ own motion, reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of napkins, towels and tissue and are
not separately identifiable by product line.
New findings show that the correct name of the subject firm
is identified as the Day Street Facility of the Consumer Products
Division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Accordingly, the Department is again amending this
certification to correctly identify the name of the subject firm
to read Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer Products Division,
Day Street Facility, Green Bay, Wisconsin and to correctly return
the impact date to October 12, 2004 as originally stated in the
certification determination dated November 21, 2005.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of subject firm located in Green Bay, Wisconsin who
were adversely affect by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,184 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer
Products Division, Day Street Facility, Green Bay,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 12, 2004, through November
21, 2007, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 26th day of July 2006.

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 October 24, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer Products Division,
Green Bay, Wisconsin. The workers produce napkins, towels, and
tissue; they are not separately identifiable by articles produced.
The investigation revealed that the preponderance in the
declines in employment at Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Consumer
Products Division, Green Bay, Wisconsin, is related to a shift in
production of napkins, towels, and tissue to a country (Mexico)
that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with the napkins, towels, and tissue
produced by the subject 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, Wisconsin who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 12, 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."
