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 September 27, 2011, applicable to workers and
former workers of Quad Graphics, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441). Workers are engaged in activities related to the
production of magazines and catalogues.
At the request of the State of Illinois, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information shows that workers at an Effingham, Illinois
facility operated in conjunction with the Sussex, Wisconsin
facility and had wages reported under Quad Graphics, Inc., Quad
Graphics Printing Corp., and Quad Logistics Services.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by an
acquisition from a foreign country of production of articles like
or directly competitive with those produced by the workers.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,441 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Quad Graphics, Inc., including workers whose
wages were reported under Quad Graphics Printing Corp. and
Quad Logistics Services (TA-W-73,441H), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February
2, 2009, through September 27, 2013, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on September 27, 2011 through September 27, 2013,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

On February 17, 2011, the Department issued a Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of Quad Tech,
Inc. (subject firm), Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441A) to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The Department’s Notice
was published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2011 (76 FR
14099).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted
under the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously
considered that the determination complained of
was erroneous;
(2) if it appears that the determination complained of
was based on a mistake in the determination of facts
not previously considered; or
(3) if in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a mis-
interpretation of facts or of the law justified
reconsideration of the decision.
During the reconsideration investigation, the subject firm
company official clarified that the worker who requested
reconsideration worked at Quad Graphics, Inc., Hartford,
Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441E). Further, additional clarifying
information was received which resulted in an expanded
reconsideration investigation that included:
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from
Staff Management, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441), engaged in the production of magazines and
catalogs;
* Quad Tech, Inc., including leased workers from
FIRSTECH, Eagle Technology Group, Inc., and RCM
Technologies, Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441A), engaged
in the production of automated controls and finishing
controls for printing presses and supply of support
services;
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from
Staff Management, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441B), engaged in the production of magazines and
catalogs;
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from
Staff Management, Inc., Pewaukee, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441C), engaged in the production of magazines and
catalogs;
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from
Staff Management, Inc., Lomira, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441D), engaged in the production of magazines and
catalogs;
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from
Staff Management, Inc., Hartford, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441E), engaged in the production of magazines and
catalogs;
* World Color Mt. Morris II, LLC, a subsidiary of Quad
Graphics, Inc., Mt. Morris, Illinois (TA-W-73,441F),
engaged in the production of magazines and catalogs;
and
* Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from SPS
Temporaries, Depew, New York (TA-W-73,441G), engaged in
the production of paperback books.
The reconsideration investigation revealed that the
following worker groups have met the certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Trade Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a): TA-W-
73,441, TA-W-73,441A, TA-W-73,441B, TA-W-73,441F, and TA-W-
73,441G.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at each of the afore-mentioned worker
groups have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because there has been an
acquisition from a foreign country by the subject firm of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those
produced by the afore-mentioned worker groups.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
articles contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation at the afore-mentioned worker groups.
A careful review of the administrative record and additional
information obtained by the Department during the reconsideration
investigation revealed that the following worker groups have not
met the certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Trade
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a): TA-W-73,441C, TA-W-73,441D and TA-W-
73,441E.
Criterion I has not been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers’ at each of the afore-mentioned worker
groups have not become totally or partially separated, nor
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
29 CFR 90.2 states that a significant number or proportion
of the workers means at least three (3) workers in a firm (or
appropriate subdivision thereof) with a workforce of fewer than
50 workers, or five (5) percent of the workers or 50 workers,
whichever is less, in a workforce of 50 or more workers.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of
negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of Quad
Graphics, Inc., Pewaukee, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441C); Quad
Graphics, Inc., Lomira, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441D); and Quad
Graphics, Inc., Hartford, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441E). Further,
after careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I determine that workers and former workers of
Quad Graphics, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin; Quad Tech, Inc., Sussex,
Wisconsin; Quad Graphics, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin; World
Color Mt. Morris II, LLC, Mt. Morris, Illinois; and Quad
Graphics, Inc., Depew, New York, 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 Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased
workers from Staff Management, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-
W-73,441); Quad Tech, Inc., including leased workers from
FIRSTECH, Eagle Technology Group, Inc., and RCM
Technologies, Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441A); Quad
Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff
Management, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441B);
World Color Mt. Morris II, LLC, a subsidiary of Quad
Graphics, Inc., Mt. Morris, Illinois (TA-W-73,441F); and
Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from SPS
Temporaries, Depew, New York (TA-W-73,441G), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 2, 2009, through two years from the date of this
revised 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.”
