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:
(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 November 12, 2010 on behalf of workers of Chestnut
Ridge Group, LLLP, a subsidiary of I.C. Supermarkets, Inc.,
Latrobe, Pennsylvania (Chestnut Ridge Latrobe). The workers at
the subject firm are engaged in activities related to the
production of bottled beverages including water, tea,
carbonated beverages, and juices. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product. The investigation revealed
the worker group includes on-site leased workers from The Callos
Companies and Account Temps.
The investigation revealed that workers of Chestnut Ridge
Latrobe who are engaged in employment related to the production
of bottled beverages including water, tea, carbonated
beverages, and juices meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of bottled beverages including water, tea,
carbonated beverages, and juices by Chestnut Ridge Latrobe
have decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with bottled beverages
including water, tea, carbonated beverages, and juices by
Chestnut Ridge Latrobe have increased. Specifically, the
Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject firm's
major declining customer regarding their purchases of bottled
beverages including water, tea, carbonated beverages, and
juices during the relevant period. The survey revealed
increased customer imported bottled beverages including water,
tea, carbonated beverages, and juices.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of bottled beverages including water,
tea, carbonated beverages, and juices by the customer of
Chestnut Ridge Latrobe contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Chestnut
Ridge Latrobe.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chestnut Ridge Group,
LLLP, a subsidiary of I.C. Supermarkets, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from The Callos Companies and Account
Temps, Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of bottled beverages including water,
tea, carbonated beverages, and juices 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 Chestnut Ridge Group, LLLP, a subsidiary
of I.C. Supermarkets, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from The Callos Companies and Account Temps,
Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 4, 2009,
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 28th day of January, 2011
