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 January 13, 2010 by three workers on behalf of workers
of DuPont Teijin Films US LP, Fayetteville, North Carolina. The
workers at the Fayetteville, North Carolina facility manufacture
polyethylene terephthalate film ("PET") polymer. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers of Allied Barton Security
Services, Mundy Maintenance Services, and GCA Services Group.
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 US LP, Fayetteville, North 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 US
LP, Fayetteville, North Carolina including on-site leased
workers of Allied Barton Security Services, Mundy Maintenance
Services, and GCA Services who are engaged in employment related
to the production of polyethylene terephthalate film polymer
("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 US LP, Fayetteville,
North Carolina including on-site leased workers of Allied
Barton Security Services, Mundy Maintenance Services, and
GCA Services, who became totally or partially separated on
or after November 6, 2007 through November 6, 2009, 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 12th day of March, 2010
