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 May 18, 2006,
applicable to workers of Stolt Sea Farm, a subsidiary of Stolt-
Nielsen, S.A., including on-site leased workers of Hamilton
Connections and Adecco, Stratford, Connecticut. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2006 (71 FR 33488).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
processed Atlantic salmon.
On December 30, 2005, True North Foods, US, Inc. purchased
certain U.S. East Coast operating assets of Marine Harvest U.S.,
Inc., formerly known as Stolt Sea Farm.
Information also shows that all workers separated from
employment at Stolt Sea Farm had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for True North
Foods U.S., Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Stolt Sea Farm, a subsidiary of Stolt-Nielsen,
S.A., currently known as Marine Harvest U.S., Inc., acquired by
True North Foods, US, Inc. who were adversely affected by a shift
in production to New Brunswick, Canada.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,230 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Stolt Sea Farm, a subsidiary of Stolt-
Nielsen, S.A., currently known as Marine Harvest U.S.,
Inc., acquired by True North Foods, U.S., Inc.,
including on-site temporary workers of Hamilton
Connections and Adecco, Stratford, Connecticut, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 17, 2005, through May 18, 2008, 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."

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF

STRATFORD, CONNECTICUT

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 April 18, 2006, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Stolt Sea Farm, a
subsidiary of Stolt-Nielsen, S.A., Stratford, Connecticut. The
workers processed Atlantic salmon.
The investigation revealed that the preponderance in the
declines in employment at Stolt Sea Farm, a subsidiary of Stolt-
Nielsen, S.A., Stratford, Connecticut is related to a shift in
processing of Atlantic salmon to a country (Canada) that is a party
to a free trade agreement with the United States.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm also leased
workers on-site from Hamilton Connections and Addecco to process
Atlantic salmon.
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 Canada of articles that are
like or directly competitive with the Atlantic salmon processed by
the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Stolt Sea Farm, a subsidiary of Stolt-Nielsen,
S.A., including on-site leased workers of Hamilton Connections
and Addecco, Stratford, Connecticut who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 17, 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."
