E7-19033. Risdon International, Inc., Crown Risdon USA, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing Services, Inc., Watertown, CT; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and ...

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on August 28, 2007, applicable to workers of Risdon International, Inc., Watertown, Connecticut. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2007 (72 FR 51844).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of cosmetic packaging.

New information shows that leased workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing Services, Inc. were employed on-site at the Watertown, Connecticut location of Risdon International, Inc. The Department has determined that the Jaci Carroll Staffing Services, Inc., workers were sufficiently under the control of Risdon International, Inc. to be considered leased workers.

The State agency reports that following a change in company ownership during 2006, some workers' wages at the subject firm were reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax account for Crown Risdon USA, Inc. until November 2006.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include leased workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing Services, Inc. working on-site at the Watertown, Connecticut location of the subject firm and to show a change in ownership.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Risdon International, Inc., Watertown, Connecticut who were adversely affected by a shift in production of cosmetic packaging to Mexico.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,743 is hereby issued as follows:

“All workers of Risdon International, Inc., Crown Risdon USA, Inc., including on-site leased workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing Services, Inc., Watertown, Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 22, 2006, through August 28, 2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of September 2007.

Richard Church,

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
