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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 23, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Alticor, Inc., including Access Business Group
International LLC and Amway Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Helpmates, Buena Park, California (TA-W-
81,441), Alticor, Inc., including Access Business Group
International LLC and Amway Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Otterbase, Manpower, KForce, and Robert
Half, Ada, Michigan (TA-W-81,411A), and Alticor, Inc.,
including Access Business Group International LLC and Amway
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Helpmates,
Lakeview, California (TA-W-81,441B), (hereafter referred to
collectively as Alticor).
The subject worker group is engaged in activities related
to the production of herbal supplements, various personal home
care products such as liquid home care products and air and
water treatment systems, and support services. The subject
workers are considered separately identifiable by job
description. As such, workers are considered separately
identifiable from workers engaged in activities related to the
supply of financial and procurement services covered under
petition numbers TA-W-73,420, TA-W-73,420A, and TA-W-73,420B,
at the same location, who were certified eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) based on a shift in services
abroad.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Alticor 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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the products
produced by the subject worker groups which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Alticor.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alticor, Inc.,
including Access Business Group International LLC and Amway
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Helpmates,
Buena Park, California (TA-W-81,441), Alticor, Inc., including
Access Business Group International LLC and Amway Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Otterbase, Manpower,
KForce, and Robert Half, Ada, Michigan (TA-W-81,411A), and
Alticor, Inc., including Access Business Group International
LLC and Amway Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Helpmates, Lakeview, California (TA-W-81,441B), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of herbal
supplements, various personal home care products, and support
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 Alticor, Inc., including Access Business
Group International LLC and Amway Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Helpmates, Buena Park,
California (TA-W-81,441), Alticor, Inc., including Access
Business Group International LLC and Amway Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Otterbase,
Manpower, KForce, and Robert Half, Ada, Michigan (TA-W-
81,411A), and Alticor, Inc., including Access Business
Group International LLC and Amway Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Helpmates, Lakeview,
California (TA-W-81,441B), who are engaged in activities
related to the production of herbal supplements, various
personal home care products, and support services, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after March 23, 2011, 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 31st day of May, 2012.
