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 December 14, 2010 on behalf of workers of SuperMedia,
LLC, Quality Assurance Software Testing Division, a subsidiary
of SuperMedia, Inc., D/FW Airport, Texas (SuperMedia D/FW
Airport). The workers are engaged in activities related to
quality assurance software testing services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Advantage Technical
Resourcing, Avizion, and Spherion (Technisource).
The investigation revealed that workers of SuperMedia D/FW
Airport who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
quality assurance software testing services meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers in the workers' firm have become totally or
partially 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 quality assurance software testing services
done by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
quality assurance software testing services from India by
SuperMedia D/FW Airport contributed importantly to worker
group separations at SuperMedia D/FW Airport.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SuperMedia, LLC,
Quality Assurance Software Testing Division, a subsidiary of
SuperMedia, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Advantage Technical Resourcing, Avizion, and Spherion
(Technisource), D/FW Airport, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to supply of quality assurance software
testing 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 SuperMedia, LLC, Quality Assurance
Software Testing Division, a subsidiary of SuperMedia,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Advantage
Technical Resourcing, Avizion, and Spherion
(Technisource), D/FW Airport, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December
13, 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 January, 2011
