In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

applicable to workers of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals
Division, Charlotte, North Carolina. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on November 21, 2007 (72 FR 65607).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information shows that a worker separation occurred
involving an employee of the Charlotte, North Carolina facility
of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division located in
Marietta, Georgia. Mr. Richard H. Bass provided sales function
services supporting the production of specialty chemicals for the
textile industry that is produced at the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of the Charlotte, North
Carolina facility of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals
Division working out of Marietta, Georgia.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division,
Charlotte, North Carolina who were adversely affected by
increased imports as an upstream supplier of component parts for
textiles.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,210A is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals

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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 26, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division, Bronx,
New York (TA-W-62,210), and Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals
Division, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-62,210A). The workers
were engaged in activities related to the production of specialty
chemicals for the textile industry.
The investigation revealed that Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile
Chemicals Division, Bronx, New York (TA-W-62,210), and Dexter
Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division, Charlotte, North Carolina
(TA-W-62,210A), supplies component parts for textiles and a loss of
business with manufacturers of textiles whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance contributed
importantly to the separation or threat of separation of workers at
Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division, Bronx, New York,
and Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals Division, Charlotte,
North Carolina.
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 workers of Dexter Chemical LLC,
Bronx, New York, and Dexter Chemical LLC, Charlotte, North
Carolina, qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Dexter Chemical LLC, Textile Chemicals
Division, Bronx, New York (TA-W-62,210), and Dexter Chemical
LLC, Textile Chemicals Division, Charlotte, North Carolina
(TA-W-62,210A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 25, 2006, 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.”
