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 July 30, 2015 by a company official on behalf of
workers of DENTSPLY International Inc., Corporate division,
York, Pennsylvania (herein referred to as "DENTSPLY" or
"worker group" or "workers' firm"). The worker group is also
inclusive of on-site leased workers from Adecco, JFC Global,
and Accountemps. The firm is engaged in activities related to
the production and distribution of dental and other consumable
healthcare products. The worker group the subject of the
investigation supply accounting services in support of the
firm's operations.
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 services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
DENTSPLY.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DENTSPLY
International Inc., Corporate division, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, JFC Global, and Accountemps, York,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of accounting 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:













"Workers of DENTSPLY International Inc., Corporate
division, including on-site leased workers from Adecco,
JFC Global, and Accountemps, York, Pennsylvania engaged
in activities related to the supply of accounting
services, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 1, 2014, 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."
