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 March 1, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of DuPont Teijin Films US LP, a subsidiary of E.I.
DuPont de Nemours & Co. and Teijin Holdings USA, Fayetteville,
North Carolina. The firm produces "PET" film polymers. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Allied
Barton Security Services, Mundy Maintenance Services, GCA
Services Group, Fluor-Daniel, Boughman Industrial Technologies
and DAK Americas.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of "PET" film polymers produced by DuPont
Teijin Films US LP, a subsidiary of E.I. DuPont de Nemours &
Co. and Teijin Holdings USA, Fayetteville, North Carolina have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by DuPont Teijin Films US LP, Fayetteville, North
Carolina have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at DuPont Teijin
Films US LP, a subsidiary of E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. and
Teijin Holdings USA, Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DuPont Teijin Films
US LP, a subsidiary of E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. and Teijin
Holdings USA, Fayetteville, North Carolina, who are engaged in
activities related to production of "PET" film polymers, 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 DuPont Teijin Films US LP, a subsidiary of E.I.
DuPont de Nemours & Co. and Teijin Holdings USA, including on-
site leased workers from Allied Barton Security Services,
Mundy Maintenance Services, GCA Services Group, Fluor-Daniel,
Boughman Industrial Technologies and DAK Americas,
Fayetteville, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 28, 2012, 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, 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 9th day of April, 2013
