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 December 20, 2013 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf
of InducPac California Inc., IndusPac Pacific Foam, formerly known
as McFarlane DBA IndusPac Pacific Foam, IndusPac Pacific Foam
Division, a subsidiary of Specialized Packaging Group LP, Ontario,
California (InducPac California Inc.). The subject workers were
engaged in employment related to the production of assembling of
packaging products which consist of cardboard, paper and foam
products. The worker groups are not separately identifiable by
products produced by the firm.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Courtesy Staffing.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at InducPac
California Inc., Ontario, California.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of InducPac California
Inc., IndusPac Pacific Foam, formerly known as McFarlane DBA
IndusPac Pacific Foam, IndusPac Pacific Foam Division, a
subsidiary of Specialized Packaging Group LP, Ontario, California
who were engaged in employment related to the production of
assembling of packaging products, 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 InducPac California Inc., IndusPac Pacific
Foam, formerly known as McFarlane DBA IndusPac Pacific Foam,
IndusPac Pacific Foam Division, a subsidiary of Specialized
Packaging Group LP, Ontario, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December
19, 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 21st day of February, 2014.
