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 August 16, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Color Service, Inc., Monterey Park, California (Color
Service). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of commercial printing packages and pre-press
activities.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and customers.
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 commercial printing packages by Color Service have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because a customer's
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive with
the article produced by Color Service have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
customer's increased reliance on imports contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Color Service.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Color Service, Inc.,
Monterey Park, California, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of commercial printing packages and pre-press
activities 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 Color Service, Inc., Monterey Park,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 15, 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 30th day of November, 2012.
