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 6, 2010 by a state workforce official on behalf of
workers of Bowne Technology Enterprise, LLC, a subsidiary of
Bowne and Company, Inc., Help Desk Division, Piscataway, New
Jersey (hereinafter referred to Bowne Technology Enterprise,
LCC, Help Desk Division). The workers supply help desk support
services for financial communications technology.
The investigation revealed that workers of Bowne Technology
Enterprise, LCC, Help Desk Division, who supply help desk
support services for financial communications technology, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
help desk support services for financial communications
technology from Canada by Bowne Technology Enterprise, LCC,
Help Desk Division contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Piscataway, New Jersey facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bowne Technology
Enterprise, LLC, a subsidiary of Bowne and Company, Inc., Help
Desk Division, Piscataway, New Jersey, who supply help desk
support services for financial communications technology, 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 Bowne Technology Enterprise, LLC, a
subsidiary of Bowne and Company, Inc., Help Desk
Division, Piscataway, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 5,
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 28th day of July, 2010.
