MONTEBELLO PACKAGING, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ADECCO AND ADAMS AND GARTH
HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA

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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1074 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on June 6, 2008,
applicable to workers of IntraPac, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Adecco and Adams and Garth, Harrisonburg, Virginia.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 20, 2008
(73 FR 35164).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of collapsible aluminum and tin
tubes and medical dose inhalers and are not separately
identifiable by a specific product.


New information shows that on July 31, 2008, Montebello
Packaging, Inc. purchased the aluminum portion and assets of the
Harrisonburg, Virginia location of IntraPac, Inc. Production of
tin tubes and medical dose inhalers will continue at the subject
firm. Workers separated from employment at the Harrisonburg,
Virginia location of the subject firm had their wages reported
under two separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts –
Montebello Packaging, Inc. and IntraPac, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of IntraPac, Inc., Montebello Packaging, Inc.,
Harrisonburg, Virginia, who were adversely affected by increased
imports following a shift in production to Venezuela, India and
Czech Republic.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,253 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of IntraPac, Inc., Montebello Packaging,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco and
Adams and Garth, Harrisonburg, Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 25, 2007, through June 6, 2010, 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."

HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA

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 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 April 28, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of IntraPac,
Inc., Harrisonburg, Virginia. The workers produce collapsible
aluminum and tin tubes and medical dose inhalers. Workers are not
separately identifiable by specific product. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Adecco, and Adams and Garth.
The investigation revealed employment declined from 2006 to
2007 and in January through March 2008 compared with the same
period in 2007.
In 2007 the subject firm shifted a significant portion of
collapsible tubes production in Harrisonburg to India, Venezuela
and the Czech Republic while increasing its imports of same.
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 that there was a shift in
production from the subject firm to India, Venezuela and the Czech
Republic of articles that are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm, 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 IntraPac, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, and Adams and Garth, Harrisonburg,
Virginia who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 25, 2007 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.”
