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 August 16, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of RR Donnelley, Digital Solutions Center Division,
Glasgow, Kentucky. The workers supply premedia digital image
file checking services for their firm. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Quality Personnel.
The investigation revealed that workers of RR Donnelley,
who are engaged in employment related to premedia digital
image file checking services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers are threatened to become totally separated during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of premedia
digital image file checking services to a foreign country by
RR Donnelley contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Glasgow, Kentucky facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RR Donnelley, Digital
Solutions Center Division, Glasgow, Kentucky, who are engaged
in employment related to premedia digital image file checking
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 RR Donnelley, Digital Solutions Center
Division, including on-site leased workers from Quality
Personnel, Glasgow, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 11,
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 25th day of August, 2010
