Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 16, 2007 in
response to a worker petition file by a State Agency
Representative on behalf of workers of Deluxe Media Services
LLC, North Little Rock, Arkansas. Workers produce digital video
discs (DVD's).
The worker group includes on-site leased workers of Staff
Management.
This investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined in 2006 compared with 2005.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject facility's
primary customers regarding purchases of digital video discs
(DVD's) in 2005, and 2006. The survey revealed increasing
customer imports during the relevant period.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The
Department has determined in this case that the requirements of
Section 246 have been met.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with DVD's produced at Deluxe Media
Services LLC, North Little Rock, Arkansas, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Deluxe Media Services LLC, including on-
site leased workers of Staff Management, North Little Rock,
Arkansas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 14, 2006 through two years
from the date of certification 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 in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of April 2007
