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 24, 2009 on behalf of workers of Mazer
Corporation, Creative Services, Maitland, Florida (Mazer). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
educational publications.
The investigation revealed that workers of Mazer who are
engaged in activities related to educational publications 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of educational publications by Mazer 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
educational publications by Mazer have increased.
Specifically, customers of Mazer have increased their reliance
on imports of articles like or directly competitive with
educational publications during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of educational publications by customers
of Mazer contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Mazer.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mazer Corporation,
Creative Services, Maitland, Florida, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of educational
publications 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 Mazer Corporation, Creative Services,
Maitland, Florida, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 9, 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 4th day of March, 2010.
