Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 24, 2013, applicable to workers of West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Valley Grove, West Virginia. The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2014 (78 FR 26504).
In response to a petition (TA-W-85,198) filed on behalf of workers at West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, Warehouse Division, Washington, Pennsylvania, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of laser print cartridges used in commercial and desktop printers.
The company reports that worker separations at West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, Washington, Pennsylvania are attributable to the same shift in production that contributed importantly to worker separations at the Valley Grove, West Virginia location.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers located at West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, Warehouse Division, Washington, Pennsylvania.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,034 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Valley Grove, West Virginia (TA-W-83,034) and West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, Warehouse Division, Washington, Pennsylvania (TA-W-83,244A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 28, 2012 through September 24, 2015, 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.”

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 August 29, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary
of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, Valley Grove, West
Virginia. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of laser print cartridges used in commercial and
desktop printers. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at West Point Products Acquisition.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of West Point Products
Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Valley Grove, West Virginia, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of laser print cartridges used in
commercial and desktop printers meet the worker group

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 West Point Products Acquisition, LLC, a
subsidiary of Clover Technologies Group, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services, Valley Grove,
West Virginia, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 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 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."
