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, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers' firm has shifted
production of the articles is a beneficiary under the
African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean
Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 24, 2014 by the State of Texas on behalf of
workers of Cardinal Health 200, LLC, a subsidiary of Cardinal
Health Inc., Medical-Manufacturing Division, including on-site
leased workers from Select Staffing, El Paso, Texas (subject
firm). The workers' firm is engaged activities related to the
production of laminated materials for medical products.
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 employment
decline is related to the shift in production of laminated
materials for medical products to a foreign country that is
party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
In accordance with Section 246 of the Act, 26 U.S.C. 2813,
the Department herein presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older. Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met
because the workers in the subject firm possess skills that are
not easily transferrable. Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cardinal Health 200,
LLC, a subsidiary of Cardinal Health Inc., Medical-
Manufacturing Division, El Paso, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of laminated materials for
medical 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 Cardinal Health 200, LLC, a subsidiary of
Cardinal Health Inc., Medical-Manufacturing Division,
including on-site leased workers from Select Staffing, El
Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 23, 2013, through two years
