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 September 28, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Matthew Bender and Company, Inc., d/b/a LexisNexis,
Corporate Accounting Division, a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier,
Inc., with facilities in Albany, New York (TA-W-72,431);
Miamisburg, Ohio (TA-W-72,431A); New Providence, New Jersey
(TA-W-72,431B); and Bellevue, Washington (TA-W-72,431C). The
worker group includes leased workers of Allegis Group Services
working on-site at the Albany, New York facility. The workers
are engaged in activities related to corporate accounting
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Matthew Bender
and Company, who are engaged in employment related to
corporate accounting services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired corporate accounting services from India and
Guatemala.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
corporate accounting services from India and Guatemala by the
firm contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Albany, New York; Miamisburg, Ohio; New Providence, New
Jersey; and Bellevue, Washington facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Matthew Bender and
Company, Inc., d/b/a LexisNexis, Corporate Accounting
Division, a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier, Inc., Albany, New
York (TA-W-72,431); Miamisburg, Ohio (TA-W-72,431A); New
Providence, New Jersey (TA-W-72,431B); and Bellevue,
Washington (TA-W-72,431C), 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 Matthew Bender and Company, Inc., d/b/a
LexisNexis, Corporate Accounting Division, a subsidiary
of Reed Elsevier, Inc., Albany, New York (TA-W-72,431);
Miamisburg, Ohio (TA-W-72,431A); New Providence, New
Jersey (TA-W-72,431B); and Bellevue, Washington (TA-W-
72,431C), including leased workers from Allegis Group
Services on-site at Albany, New York (TA-W-72,431), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 28, 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 17th day of December, 2009
