EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
CORPORATE FINANCE DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO AND DATAROSE
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK

Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

The initial investigation, initiated April 4, 2011, resulted
in a negative determination, issued on August 12, 2011. The
determination was applicable to workers and former workers of
Eastman Kodak Company, Corporate Finance Division, including on-
site leased workers from Adecco and Datarose, Rochester, New York.
The notice of determination was published in the Federal Register
on August 12, 2011 (76 FR 54797). The workers supply internal
financial reporting support services for Eastman Kodak Company.
As required by the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Extension
Act of 2011 (the TAAEA), the investigation into this petition was
reopened for a reconsideration investigation to apply the
requirements for worker group eligibility under chapter 2 of title
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by the TAAEA to the facts
of this petition.
Based on Departmental Findings provided during the
reconsideration investigation, the Department of Labor determines
that the worker group meets the requirements for eligibility to
apply for trade adjustment assistance.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the financial reporting support services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Eastman Kodak Company, Corporate
Finance Division, Rochester, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Eastman Kodak Company,
Corporate Finance Division, including on-site leased workers from
Adecco and Datarose, Rochester, New York, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial reporting 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 Eastman Kodak Company, Corporate Finance
Division, including on-site leased workers of Adecco and
Datarose, Rochester, New York who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 1, 2010, through
two years from the date of this certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on December 20, 2011 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.”

Negative Determinations 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.
Workers of a firm may be eligible for worker adjustment
assistance if they satisfy the criteria of subsection (a) and (b)
of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a) and (b). For the
Department of Labor to issue a certification for workers under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), the following three
criteria must be met:
(1) 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 such workers' firm, or
an appropriate subdivision of the firm, have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated
(2) The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied in one of two
ways:
(A) Increased Imports Path:
(i) sales or production, or both, at the workers’ firm must
have decreased absolutely, AND
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and
(iii) the increase 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 or subdivision.

(B) Shift in Production Path:
(i) there has been a shift in production by such workers’
firm or subdivision to a foreign country of articles like
or directly competitive with articles which are produced
by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II)the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
country under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African
Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act; or
(III)there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision.

For the Department to issue a secondary worker certification
under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), to workers of
a Supplier or a Downstream Producer, the following criteria must be
met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production
is related to the article that was the basis for such
certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
terms “Supplier” and “Downstream Producer.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 4, 2011 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Eastman Kodak Company, Corporate Finance Division, Rochester,
New York. The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of financial reporting services.
The petitioner alleges that the firm is shifting services to
a foreign country. During the course of the investigation,
information was collected from the workers’ firm.
With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii), the investigation
revealed that the worker separations are not attributable to
increased imports of articles.
With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that the worker separations are not
attributable to a shift in production of articles by the workers’
firm to a foreign country. Rather, the investigation confirmed
that the worker separations are attributable to a shift of services
by the workers’ firm to a foreign country.
With respect to Section 222(b), the investigation confirmed
that the firm is not a Supplier or Downstream Producer to a firm
that employed a TAA-certified worker group.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA), the worker group must be certified eligible to apply for
trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified
eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Eastman Kodak
Company, Corporate Finance Division, Rochester, New York are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and are also denied
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, amended.
