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 December 13, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of A.M. Todd Company, Botanical Therapeutics, Eugene,
Oregon. The workers produce botanical extracts for dietary
supplements.
The investigation revealed that A.M. Todd Company also leased
workers from Hire Calling, Kelly Services and SelecTemp, Eugene,
Oregon to produce botanical extracts.
The investigation revealed that sales at the subject facility
decreased during the period of January through November of 2006,
when compared to the same period in 2005.
The subject facility's share of imports of botanical extracts
as compared to its sales increased during the period under
investigation.
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 botanical extracts produced by
A.M. Todd Company, Botanical Therapeutics, Eugene, Oregon,
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 A.M. Todd Company, Botanical Therapeutics,
Eugene, Oregon, including on-site leased workers from Hire
Calling, Kelly Services and SelecTemp, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 11,
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., this 8th day of January 2007
