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 23, 2010 on behalf of workers of Reiman Media
Group, LLC, Premedia Department, Greendale, Wisconsin. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
services related to the preparation of published materials. The
worker group does not include on-site leased workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Reiman Media
Group, LLC, Premedia Department, Greendale, Wisconsin, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Reiman Media Group, LLC, Premedia
Department, Greendale, Wisconsin, are threatened with total or
partial separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm is
shifting to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the pre-publication services
supplied by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the aforementioned
shift abroad contributed importantly to the threatened total
and/or partial separations at Reiman Media Group, LLC, Premedia
Department, Greendale, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Reiman Media Group,
LLC, Premedia Department, Greendale, Wisconsin, who are engaged
in employment related to the supply of services related to the
preparation of published materials, 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 Reiman Media Group, LLC, Premedia
Department, Greendale, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 18,
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 5th day of October, 2010
