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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 27, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Eastman Kodak Company, WW Thermal Media Flow Division,
Rochester, New York. The workers at the subject firm produce
thermal coated paper.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of thermal paper to
Germany. The subject firm will increase imports of thermal coated
paper following the shift in production abroad.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm also
leased workers to work on-site from Datrose, Adecco, and L&H
Quality Staffing to produce thermal paper.
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 determine that there was a shift in production
from the firm or subdivision to Germany of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of like or directly competitive articles. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Eastman Kodak Company, WW Thermal Media Flow
Division, including on-site leased workers from Datrose,
Adecco, L&H Quality Staffing, Rochester, New York who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 18, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 1st day of November, 2007.
