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 February 26, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Carestream Health, Inc.,
Technical Support Unit, Rochester, New York (Carestream Health-
Technical Support Unit). The subject firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of medical imaging systems
and X-ray imaging systems. Workers of Carestream Health-
Technical Support Unit are engaged in activities related to the
supply of technical support services for film printer and
computer radiology equipment, including order management and
implementation support services. The worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Carestream Health-Technical
Support Unit have become totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to the worker group
separations at Carestream Health-Technical Support Unit.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Carestream Health-
Technical Support Unit, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of technical support 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:
"All workers of Carestream Health, Inc., Technical Support
Unit, Rochester, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 25, 2019
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 6th day of March 2020.
