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 November 1, 2010 on behalf of workers of ET Publishing
International, Inc., Subscription Department, Miami, Florida.
The workers promote, sell and maintain subscriptions for
periodicals, and are not separately identifiable by service
supplied. The subject worker group excludes workers of ET
Publishing International, Inc., Miami, Florida who are not
within the Subscription Department.
Workers of ET Publishing International, Inc., Accounting
Department, Miami, Florida are eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-73,406.
The investigation revealed that workers of ET Publishing
International, Inc., Subscription Department, Miami, Florida,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at ET Publishing International, Inc.,
Subscription Department, Miami, Florida, has been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because ET Publishing
International, Inc. has shifted to a foreign country the supply
of subscription services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker separations at ET Publishing
International, Inc., Subscription Department, Miami, Florida.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ET Publishing
International, Inc., Subscription Department, Miami, Florida,
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 ET Publishing International, Inc.,
Subscription Department, Miami, Florida, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October
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 2nd day of December, 2010
