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 by workers on July 9, 2013 on behalf of workers of
Chemtura Corporation, Information Technology Division, including
on-site leased from Adecco, Middlebury, Connecticut. The
workers' firm produces specialty chemicals and additives. The
subject worker group supplies information technology services.
This determination encompasses workers under the
following: Chemtura Corporation, FEIN: 52-2183153; Bio-Lab,
Inc., FEIN: 22-2268754; and Great Lakes Chemical Company
Corporation, FEIN: 95-1765035.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Chemtura Corporation, Information Technology Division,
Middlebury, Connecticut.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chemtura Corporation,
Information Technology Division, Middlebury, Connecticut, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology 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 Chemtura Corporation, Information
Technology Division, including on-site leased from Adecco,
Middlebury, Connecticut, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 8, 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 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 24th day of July, 2013.
