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 September 24, 2009 on behalf of workers of RR
Donnelley, Hillside, Illinois (RR Donnelley). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of printed
material. The worker group also consists of on-site leased
workers from Staffmark.
The investigation revealed that workers of RR Donelley who
are engaged in activities related to the production of printed
materials meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of printed material by RR Donelley have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with printed
materials by RR Donnelley have increased. Specifically, RR
Donnelley has increased their reliance on imports that are
like or directly competitive with printed materials during the
relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of printed material by RR Donelley
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at RR Donelley.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RR Donnelley,
including on-site leased workers from Staffmark, Hillside,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to printed
materials 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 RR Donnelley, including on-site leased
workers from Staffmark, Hillside, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 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 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 18th day of February, 2010.
