DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-85,578; A-W-85,578A]


Avery Dennison, Retail Branding and Information Solutions (Rbis) 
Division, Including On-Site Leased Workers of Adecco, Lenior, North 
Carolina; Leased Workers of Manpower and Zero Chaos, Working On-Site at 
Avery Dennison, Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS) 
Division, Lenior, North Carolina; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On November 3, 2014, the Department issued a Notice of Termination 
of Investigation applicable to workers and former workers of Avery 
Dennison, Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS) Division, 
Lenoir, North Carolina (subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in 
the production of printed fabric labels, heat transfer ribbon, woven 
edge tape and coated inks. Workers at the subject firm are not 
separately identifiable by product line.
    Workers of the subject firm, including on-site leased workers of 
Adecco, are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-
W-82,139 (which expires on December 5, 2014). The afore-mentioned 
certification excludes workers separated after December 5, 2014 and 
excludes on-site leased workers of Manpower and Zero Chaos.
    Following the issuance of the afore-mentioned Notice, the 
Department determined that the termination of investigation was issued 
error and conducted a reconsideration investigation.
    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 like or directly competitive 
articles to foreign countries that are a party to a free trade 
agreement with the United States.
    In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``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 
workers' firm possess skills that are not easily transferrable. Section 
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because conditions within the 
workers' industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the information obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Avery 
Dennison, Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS) Division, 
including on-site leased workers, Lenoir, North Carolina, 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 Avery Dennison, Retail Branding and Information 
Solutions (RBIS) Division, including on-site leased workers of 
Adecco, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-85,578), who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after December 6, 2014 
through two years from the date of this certification, and all 
leased workers of Manpower and Zero Chaos working on-site at Avery 
Dennison, Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS)
