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 ("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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.




The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 13, 2009 by the East Tennessee Labor Coordinator,
Tennessee AFL-CIO, on behalf of workers at Vacumet
Corporation, a subsidiary of Scholle Corporation, Paper
Division, Morristown, Tennessee (Vacumet Corporation). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
metalized paper.
The investigation revealed that workers of Vacumet
Corporation, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of metalized paper, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at Vacumet Corporation was
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because Vacumet
Corporation sales and production declined absolutely during
the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
United States imports of articles like or directly competitive
with metalized paper produced by Vacumet Corporation increased
significantly during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased United States aggregate imports of metalized
paper like or directly competitive with those produced by
Vacumet Corporation contributed importantly to worker group
separations and sales/production declines at the Morristown,
Tennessee facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Vacumet Corporation,
who are engaged in employment related to production of metalized
paper, 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 Vacumet Corporation, a subsidiary of
Scholle Corporation, Paper Division, Morristown, Tennessee,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 13, 2008, through two years from the date
of certification, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on 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."
