Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed
on July 13, 2009 on behalf of workers of Avery Dennison Retail
Information Services, LLC, Centralized Accounting Services
Group (Avery), formerly known as Paxar Americas, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Avery Denison Corporation,
Miamisburg, Ohio. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Express Services, Inc. The workers provide
accounting support services to the subject firm.
The investigation revealed that workers of Avery who are
engaged in employment related to accounting services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers are threatened with separation during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
accounting services from India by Avery contributed
importantly to the threat of worker group separations at the
Miamisburg, Ohio facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Avery Dennison Retail
Information Services, LLC, Centralized Accounting Services
Group, Miamisburg, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to
accounting services meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Avery Dennison Retail Information
Services, LLC, Centralized Accounting Services Group,
formerly known as Paxar Americas, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Express Services, Inc., Miamisburg,
Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 10, 2008, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 19th day of October, 2009
