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 November 3, 2009 on behalf of workers of Sanborn Map
Company, Inc., Chesterfield, Missouri (Sanborn). The workers are
engaged in activities related to mapping services. The group
consists of on-site leased workers from BoeCore Professional
Services, ProtoTest, Add Staff, Inc. and Keystone Staffing
Resources.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sanborn who are
engaged in activities related to mapping services 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 of
mapping services by Sanborn have decreased absolutely during
the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
services like or directly competitive with mapping services by
Sanborn have increased. Specifically, Sanborn has increased
imports of services like or directly competitive with mapping
services during the relevant period.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of mapping services by Sanborn contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Sanborn.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanborn Map Company,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from BoeCore Professional
Services, ProtoTest, Add Staff, Inc. and Keystone Staffing
Resources, Chesterfield, Missouri, who are engaged in activities
related to mapping 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 Sanborn Map Company, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from BoeCore Professional Services,
ProtoTest, Add Staff, Inc. and Keystone Staffing Resources,
Chesterfield, Missouri, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 26, 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 10th day of March, 2010.
