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. See 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 May 3, 2010 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of SuperMedia LLC, formerly known as Idearc Media LLC,
Publishing Operations Group, St. Petersburg, Florida
(SuperMedia LLC). Workers are engaged in activities related to
account management, listings management and book close
services. The workers are not separately identifiable. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from
TAC/Advantage, Macmillan, Apple One, and ASEC.
The investigation revealed that workers of SuperMedia LLC,
formerly known as Idearc Media LLC, Publishing Operations
Group, including on-site leased workers from TAC/Advantage,
Macmillan, Apple One, and ASEC, St. Petersburg, Florida who are
engaged in activities related to account management, listings
management and book close services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country account management, listings
management and book close services during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of account
management, listings management and book close services to
India by SuperMedia LLC contributed importantly to worker group
separations at SuperMedia LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SuperMedia LLC,
formerly known as Idearc Media LLC, Publishing Operations
Group, including on-site leased workers from TAC/Advantage,
Macmillan, Apple One, and ASEC, St. Petersburg, Florida who are
engaged in activities related to account management, listings
management and book close 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 SuperMedia LLC, formerly known as Idearc
Media LLC, Publishing Operations Group, including on-site
leased workers from TAC/Advantage, Macmillan, Apple One,
and ASEC, St. Petersburg, Florida, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 2, 2009,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of July, 2010.
