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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 22, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Bell-Carter Foods LLC, Corporate Division,
including on-site leased workers from Marathon Staffing and
Express Professionals, including workers whose wages were
reported through Bell-Carter Olive Packing Company, Corning,
California TA-W-94,250 and Bell-Carter Foods LLC, Corporate
Division including on-site leased workers from Marathon
Staffing and Express Professionals, including workers whose
wages were reported through Bell-Carter Olive Packing Company,
Walnut Creek, California TA-W-94,250A (herein referred to as
"Bell-Carter Foods LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of ripe olives. For both
TA-W-94,250 and TA-W-94,250A, the subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Marathon Staffing and Express
Professionals and workers whose wages are reported through
Bell-Carter Olive Packing Company.
The investigation revealed that on July 31, 2018, the
International Trade Commission found the workers' firm is
publicly identified by name by the International Trade
Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in the United States ripe olives
industry being materially injured by increased U.S. imports. A
petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Bell-Carter
Foods LLC, Concord, California. That firm (including the
Walnut Creek, California location under TA-W-94,250A) was
publicly identified by name by the International Trade
Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of determination that is
listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In
addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on July 31, 2018, which is within one year of the date
of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bell-Carter Foods
LLC, Corporate Division, including on-site leased workers from
Marathon Staffing and Express Professionals, including workers
whose wages were reported through Bell-Carter Olive Packing
Company, Corning, California TA-W-94,250 and Bell-Carter Foods
LLC, Corporate Division including on-site leased workers from
Marathon Staffing and Express Professionals, including workers
whose wages were reported through Bell-Carter Olive Packing
Company, Walnut Creek, California TA-W-94,250A, engaged in
activities related to the production of ripe olives meet the
requirements of Section 222(e) of the Act. In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Bell-Carter Foods LLC, Corporate Division,
including on-site leased workers from Marathon Staffing
and Express Professionals, including workers whose wages
were reported through Bell-Carter Olive Packing Company,
Corning, California TA-W-94,250 and Bell-Carter Foods
LLC, Corporate Division including on-site leased workers
from Marathon Staffing and Express Professionals,
including workers whose wages were reported through Bell-
Carter Olive Packing Company, Walnut Creek, California TA-
W-94,250A, who became totally or partially separated from
that employment on or after July 31, 2017, through the date
of the certification and who become totally or partially
separated from that employment from the date of the
certification through July 31, 2019, 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 27th day of December 2018.
