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 February 3, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dex One, West Division, including on-site leased
workers from Advantage XPO, in the following locations:
Tucson, Arizona (TA-W-75,171); Colorado Springs and Englewood,
Colorado (TA-W-75,171A); West Des Moines, Iowa (TA-W-75,171B);
Maple Grove, Minnesota (TA-W-75,171C); Albuquerque, New Mexico
(TA-W-75,171D); and Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver, Washington
(TA-W-75,171E). The workers provide graphic design services.
This certification does not include workers of Dex One that
are covered under existing TAA certifications at the following
facilities: Bellevue, Washington (TA-W-72,770); Omaha, Nebraska
(TA-W-72,770A); Phoenix, Arizona (TA-W-72,770B); Beaverton
Oregon (TA-W-72,770C); and Murray, Utah (TA-W-72,770D).
The investigation revealed that workers of Dex One, West
Division, who are engaged in employment related to graphic
design services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services by Dex One contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the listed locations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dex One, West
Division, in the following locations: Tucson, Arizona (TA-W-
75,171); Colorado Springs and Englewood, Colorado (TA-W-
75,171A); West Des Moines, Iowa (TA-W-75,171B); Maple Grove,
Minnesota (TA-W-75,171C); Albuquerque, New Mexico (TA-W-
75,171D); and Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver, Washington (TA-
W-75,171E), who are engaged in employment related to graphic
design 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 Dex One, West Division, including on-site
leased workers from Advantage XPO, in the following
locations: Tucson, Arizona (TA-W-75,171); Colorado
Springs and Englewood, Colorado (TA-W-75,171A); West Des
Moines, Iowa (TA-W-75,171B); Maple Grove, Minnesota (TA-
W-75,171C); Albuquerque, New Mexico (TA-W-75,171D); and
Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver, Washington (TA-W-75,171E),
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 2, 2010, through two years from the
date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the 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 18th day of February, 2011
