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 15, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of S4Carlisle Publishing Services, Dubuque, Iowa. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
prepress publications.
The investigation revealed that workers of S4Carlisle
Publishing Services, Dubuque, Iowa meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because significant worker
separations at Dubuque, Iowa are imminent.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
that are like or directly competitive to the prepress
publications that are produced at the subject firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to India has contributed importantly to worker
group separations at S4Carlisle Publishing Services, Dubuque,
Iowa.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of S4Carlisle Publishing
Services, Dubuque, Iowa, 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 S4Carlisle Publishing Services, Dubuque,
Iowa, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 14, 2010, 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 9th day of March, 2011
