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 September 29, 2010 on behalf of workers of Los Angeles
Daily News Publishing Company, Pre-Press Division, San
Bernardino, California (Los Angeles Daily News Publishing
Company, Pre-Press Division). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of advertising and graphics
services. The workers are not separately identifiable by
service supplied.
The investigation revealed that workers of Los Angeles
Daily News Publishing Company, Pre-Press Division, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of advertising and
graphics services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the workers' firm have become totally
or partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the advertising and graphics
services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to India contributed importantly to worker separations at Los
Angeles Daily News Publishing Company, Pre-Press Division, San
Bernardino, California.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Los Angeles Daily
News Publishing Company, Pre-Press Division, San Bernardino,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of advertising and graphics 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 Los Angeles Daily News Publishing Company,
Pre-Press Division, San Bernardino, California, engaged in
activities related to the supply of advertising and
graphics services, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 22, 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 8th day of November, 2010
