of International Paper Company, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower and Western Express, Courtland, Alabama.

The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
of coated and uncoated freesheet paper. At the request from a
Liberty Healthcare Corporation official, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.

Additional information from International Paper Company confirms
that workers leased from Liberty Healthcare Corporation were
employed on-site at the Courtland, Alabama location of International
Paper Company, Courtland Alabama Paper Mill, Printing & Communications
Papers Division, a subsidiary of International Paper Company. The

all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports of coated and uncoated freesheet paper.

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
(Department) 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.
“Like or directly competitive” means that “like” articles
are those which are substantially similar in inherent or
intrinsic characteristics and that “directly competitive”
articles are those which are substantially equivalent for
commercial purposes (adapted to the same uses and, therefore,
exchangeable). 29 CFR 90.2
“Significant number or proportion of the workers” means, in
most cases, that in a workforce of fifty or more workers in a firm
(or appropriate subdivision), the total or partial separations (or
both) are the equivalent to a total unemployment of five percent
(5%) of the workers or 50 workers, whichever is less. 29 CFR 90.2
A factor which “contributed importantly” means, for purposes
of the Act, a cause which is important but not necessarily more
important than any other cause. 29 CFR 90.16(b)(3)
The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on October 17, 2013 by
representatives of the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Services Workers
International Union (USW), Locals 1137, 1161, and 193, on behalf of
workers of International Paper Company, Courtland Alabama Paper
Mill, Printing & Communication Papers Division, a subsidiary of
International Paper Company, Courtland, Alabama (International
Paper-Courtland). Workers at International Paper-Courtland are
engaged in activities related to the production of coated and
uncoated freesheet paper, and are not separately identifiable by
article produced. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Manpower.
The petition alleged “imports have increased relative to
demand” and included as support documentation an undated letter
from International Paper (stating “we are seeing European producers
increase imports to North America”), an undated USW memorandum
(titled “Import Trends in Uncoated Paper”), a letter to the
Department dated October 10, 2013, and references to an on-line
blog and a U.S. International Trade Commission finding.
During the course of the investigation, the Department
collected information from the workers’ firm, reviewed material
submitted by the petitioners, conducted a customer survey of
International Paper-Courtland’s major declining customers, and
conducted an industry analysis of uncoated freesheet paper which
included the impact of aggregate imports of uncoated freesheet
paper on the domestic paper industry.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at International Paper-Courtland has
become totally or partially separated, or is threatened with total
or partial separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and
production at International Paper-Courtland have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the freesheet paper
produced at International Paper-Courtland have increased during the
relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sale/production declines at International Paper-
Courtland.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International Paper
Company, Courtland Alabama Paper Mill, Printing & Communication
Papers Division, a subsidiary of International Paper Company,
Courtland, Alabama, 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 International Paper Company, Courtland Alabama
Paper Mill, Printing & Communication Papers Division, a
subsidiary of International Paper Company, including on-site
leased workers of Manpower, Courtland, Alabama, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 10, 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.”
