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 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-73,4 41H), 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.”
