RENAISSANCE MARK
A SUBSIDARY OF ARSENAL CAPITAL PARTNERS

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 January 3, 2006, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Renaissance
Mark, a subsidiary Arsenal Capital Partners, currently known as WS
Packaging Group, Olyphant, Pennsylvania. Workers at the subject
firm produce printed pressure sensitive labels.
The investigation revealed that the threat of employment
decline at the subject firm is attributable to a shift in
production of printed pressure sensitive labels from Olyphant,
Pennsylvania to a country (Mexico), that is a 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 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 do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:



"All workers of Renaissance Mark, a subsidiary Arsenal Capital
Partners, currently known as WS Packaging Group, Olyphant,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 3, 2005 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.,13th this day of February 2006.
