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 December 29, 2008,
applicable to workers of Procter and Gamble Hare Care, LLC, a
subsidiary of Procter and Gamble, Stamford, Connecticut. The
notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.
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 hair colorants.
The review finds that the Department inadvertently omitted
from the certification the workers leased from Staff Management,
Seaton Corp., and Horizon Staffing that were working on-site at
the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers leased from Staff Management, Seaton Corp., and
Horizon Staffing working on-site at the Stamford, Connecticut
location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,675 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Procter and Gamble Hair Care, LLC, a
subsidiary of Procter and Gamble, including on-site
leased workers from Staff Management, Seaton Corp., and
Horizon Staffing, Stamford, Connecticut, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 12, 2007 through December 29, 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.”

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 December 15, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Procter and Gamble Hair Care LLC, a subsidiary of
Procter and Gamble, Stamford, Connecticut. The workers at the
subject facility are engaged in activities related to the
production of hair colorants.

The investigation revealed that the preponderance of declines
in employment at the subject facility is related to a shift in
plant production of hair colorants 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 like or
directly competitive with hair colorants produced by Procter and
Gamble Hair Care LLC, a subsidiary of Procter and Gamble, Stamford,
Connecticut. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Procter and Gamble Hair Care LLC, a subsidiary
of Procter and Gamble, Stamford, Connecticut, who become
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 12, 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.”
