criteria for worker adjustment assistance
have not been met for the reasons
specified.
Because the workers of the firm are

workers cannot be certified eligible for
ATAA.
The investigation revealed that
criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.A.) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A.)
(employment decline) have not been
met.
TA–W–80,350; Baby Bliss, Inc.,

Determinations Terminating
Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was
published in the Federal Register and
on the Department’s Web site, as
required by Section 221 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated
investigations of these petitions.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioner has requested
that the petition be withdrawn.
TA–W–80,223; Rock-Tenn services, Inc.,
Milwaukee, WI
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of
workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further
investigation in these cases would serve
no purpose since the petitioning group
of workers cannot be covered by more
than one certification at a time.
