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 July 2, 2009 on behalf of workers of Cinram, Inc.,
Richmond, Indiana. The workers are engaged in the manufacturing
and distribution of CDs and DVDs for entertainment and gaming
industries. The worker group includes on site leased workers of
Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in activities related to CD and DVD
production, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm is
shifting a portion of the production of CD's and DVD's to
affiliated facilities in Mexico and Canada.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production abroad of CD's and DVD's by the subject firm
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Richmond, Indiana facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cinram, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Manpower, Richmond,
Indiana, who are engaged in activities related to CD and DVD
production, 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 Cinram Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Manpower, Richmond, Indiana who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 30,
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 13th day of October 2009
