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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 13, 2009, on behalf of workers of Manugraph DGM,
Inc., Elizabethville, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
printing presses for the newspaper industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of Manugraph DGM,
Inc. who are engaged in employment related to the production of
printing presses meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers were separated during the period of
investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of printing presses by Manugraph DGM, Inc. have
decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with printing
presses produced by Manugraph DGM, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Manugraph
DGM, Inc..
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Manugraph DGM, Inc.,
Elizabethville, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of printing presses 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 Manugraph DGM, Inc., Elizabethville,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 8, 2008, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the 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 30th day of March, 2010
