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(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by the
International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section 705(b)(1)(A)
or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and 1673d(b)(1)(A));
(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period beginning
on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the President
by the International Trade Commission under section
202(f)(1) with respect to the affirmative
determination described in paragraph (1)(A) is
published in the Federal Register under section
202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described in
subparagraph (1) is published in the Federal
Register; and
(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b)(1), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 10, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of DuPont Teijin Films, Florence, South Carolina (TA-W-
72, 259). The workers at the Florence, South Carolina facility
manufacture polyethylene terephthalate film. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of Schenkers Logistics, Inc.
The investigation revealed that on November 6, 2008, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of
imports from Brazil, China, and the United Arab Emirates ("UAE")
of polyethylene terephthalate film ("PET film") that have been
found by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the
United states at less than fair value (LTFV).
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of DuPont
Teijin Films, Florence, South Carolina. That firm was publicly
identified by name by the International Trade Commission as a
member of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in a
category of determination that is listed in Section 222(f) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f). In addition, that determination
published in the Federal register on November 6, 2008 is within
one year of the date of the petition filed requesting TAA
Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DuPont Teijin Films,
Florence, South Carolina including on-site leased workers of
Schenkers Logistics, Inc., who are engaged in employment related
to the production of polyethylene terephthalate film ("the
worker group") meet the certification criteria under Section
222(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:










"All workers of DuPont Teijin Films, Florence, South
Carolina, including on-site leased workers of Schenkers
Logistics, Inc., who became totally or partially separated
on or after September 9, 2008 through September 9, 2010, 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 22nd day of September, 2009
