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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 25, 2012 on behalf of workers of RR
Donnelley Johnson City, Johnson City, Tennessee (subject
firm). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of soft bound books, ancillary educational
materials, and component materials for trade books. The
workers are not separately identifiable by article. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services.
During the investigation, the Department obtained
information from the subject firm via electronic mail and a
Business Data Request form (OMB# 1205-0342).
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the soft bound
books, ancillary educational materials, and component
materials for trade books produced by the subject workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the subject firm.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RR Donnelley
Johnson City, Johnson City, Tennessee, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of soft bound books,
ancillary educational materials, and component materials for
trade books, 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 RR Donnelley Johnson City, including on-
site leased workers from Kelly Services, Johnson City,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 24, 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 1st day of November, 2012
