FORMERLY KNOWN AS QUEBECOR WORLD
WORLD COLOR COVINGTON
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
RANDSTAD TEMPORARY AGENCY AND IH SERVICES
COVINGTON, TENNESSEE

Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on May 14, 2010, applicable to workers of World Color
(USA), LLC, formerly known as Quebecor World, World Color
Covington, Dyersburg Facility, including on-site leased workers
Randstad Temporary Agency, Covington, Tennessee. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2010 (75 FR 30067).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of magazines.
The company reports that workers leased from IH Services
were employed on-site at the Covington, Tennessee location of
World Color (USA), LLC, formerly known as Quebecor World, World
Color Covington. The Department has determined that these


workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm
to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from IH Services working
on-site at the Covington, Tennessee location of World Color
(USA), LLC, formerly known as Quebecor World, World Color
Covington.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at World Color (USA), LLC, formerly known as
Quebecor World, World Color Covington who were adversely affected
by a shift in production of magazines to Columbia and Canada.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,781 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of World Color (USA), LLC, Formerly known
as Quebecor World, World Color Covington, including on-
site leased workers Randstad Temporary Agency and IH
Services, Covington, Tennessee, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
November 4, 2008, through May 14, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 30th day of July 2010.

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. (Set forth in 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 November 6, 2009 on behalf of workers of World Color
(USA), LLC, formerly known as Quebecor World, World Color
Covington, Covington, Tennessee (World Color). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of magazines. The
workers are not separately identifiable by specific product. The
worker group also includes on-site leased workers from Randstad
Temporary Agency.
The investigation revealed that workers of World Color, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of magazines,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in a portion of the production of magazines by World Color
to Canada and Colombia.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in a portion of
the production of magazines by World Color to Canada and Colombia
contributed importantly to worker group separations at World
Color.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of World Color (USA), LLC,
formerly known as Quebecor World, World Color Covington,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad Temporary Agency,
Covington, Tennessee, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of magazines, 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 World Color (USA), LLC, formerly known as
Quebecor World, World Color Covington, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad Temporary Agency, Covington,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 4, 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.”
