CARESTREAM HEALTH, INC.
MEDICAL X-RAY DIVISION
WINDSOR, COLORADO

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 1974 (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
September 11, 2008, applicable to workers of Carestream Health,
Inc., X-Ray/Mammography Film Division, Windsor, Colorado. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 24,
2008 (73 FR 55136).
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 medical x-ray film.
New information shows that the subject firm name was not
identified in its entirety. The company official confirmed that
the correct name of the subject firm should read “Carestream
Health, Inc., Medical X-Ray Division, Windsor, Colorado”.
Based on this information, the Department is amending the
certification to correctly identify the name of the subject firm
and extend worker adjustment assistance eligibility to all
workers of Carestream Health, Inc., Medical X-Ray Division,
Windsor, Colorado.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,832 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Carestream Health, Inc., Medical X-Ray
Division, Windsor, Colorado who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August
6, 2007, through September 11, 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.”

X-RAY/MAMMOGRAPHY FILM DIVISON
WINDSOR, COLORADO

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 in response to a petition
received on August 7, 2008, and filed by the Colorado State
Workforce Office on behalf of workers at Carestream Health,
Inc., Carestream Health Colorado, X-ray/Mammography Film
Division, Windsor, Colorado. The workers produce medical x-ray
film.
The subject firm has separated workers at the Windsor,
Colorado facility and is shifting a portion of the production of
medical x-ray film abroad, including to Mexico, a country that
is party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
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 there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:


"All workers of Carestream Health, Inc., Carestream Health
Colorado, X-ray/Mammography Film Division, Windsor,
Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 6, 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.”
