Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 18, 2009 on behalf of workers of The Mazer
Corporation, Creative Solutions Division, Dayton, Ohio. The
workers provided textbook design and production services
including art and photo procurement/management, design,
desktop publishing, editorial, copyedit, project management,
and technology services.
The investigation revealed that workers of The Mazer
Corporation, Dayton, Ohio who are engaged in employment
related to textbook design and production meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers were separated from employment in the first
quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the previous
year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted textbook design and production services to India.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of textbook
design and production services to India by The Mazer
Corporation contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Dayton, Ohio.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Mazer
Corporation, Creative Solutions Division, Dayton, Ohio, who are
engaged in employment related to textbook design and production
services 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 The Mazer Corporation, Creative Solutions
Division, Dayton, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 2nd day of July, 2009
