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 December 18, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Deluxe Media Services LLC, Vernon Hills, Illinois.
The workers provide services not limited to accounting, human
resources, and management services for the firm's DVD
manufacturing facility.
Employment at the subject firm declined from December 16,
2006 to December 16, 2007. The subject facility has closed.
The investigation revealed that the decline in employment
at the subject firm is related to the increased imports of DVDs
like or directly competitive with those produced by the Deluxe
Media Services LLC., North Little Rock, Arkansas. Workers of
the Deluxe Media facility, in North Little Rock, Arkansas were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance on April
5, 2007, under petition number TA-W-60,968.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor here
in 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.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and do not possess skills that are easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are
adverse.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with DVDs produced by Deluxe Media
Services LLC 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, Vernon Hills,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 16, 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 9th day of January, 2008.
