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 21, 2009 by the California Employment Development
Department on behalf of workers of Redding Record Searchlight,
a subsidiary of Scripps Media, Inc., Redding, California.
The workers identified in the petition strictly provide graphic
design services that are used in the production and promotion
of newspapers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Redding Record
Searchlight, a subsidiary of Scripps Media, Inc., Redding,
California, who are engaged in employment related to providing
graphic design services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Redding Record
Searchlight is acquiring graphic design services from India,
rather then from the subject firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
graphic design services from a foreign country by Redding
Record Searchlight has contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Redding Record
Searchlight, a subsidiary of Scripps Media, Inc., Redding,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the
providing graphic design 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 Redding Record Searchlight, a subsidiary
of Scripps Media, Inc., Redding, California, 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 29th day of January 2010.
