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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm
have decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied
by such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 24, 2012 on behalf of workers of PSB Limited,
Rochester, New York (PSB Limited). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of gold foil
baseball card replicas, Superbowl ticket replicas, and gold
U.S. currency replicas. The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from SFN Group, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's customer.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of gold foil baseball card replicas, Superbowl
ticket replicas, and gold U.S. currency replicas by PSB
Limited have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by PSB Limited have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at PSB
Limited.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PSB Limited,
including on-site leased workers from SFN Group, Inc.,
Rochester, New York, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of gold foil baseball card replicas, Superbowl
ticket replicas, and gold U.S. currency replicas 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 PSB Limited, including on-site leased
workers from SFN Group, Inc., Rochester, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after July 11, 2011 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 3rd day of August, 2012.
