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 December 7, 2012 on behalf of YP Texas Region Yellow
Pages LLC, Dallas, Texas Division, Publishing Operations
Group, Dallas, Texas. The subject worker group includes workers
whose wages are paid under YP Texas Region Advertising Group
LLC and/or YP Advertising LP, and includes on-site leased
workers from Zero Chaos. YP Texas Region Yellow Pages LLC,
Dallas, Texas Division, Dallas, Texas is part of YP Subsidiary
Holdings LLC, which is part of YP LLC, which is part of YP
Holdings LLC.
Workers within the Publishing Operations Group are
separately identifiable from other business units within YP
Texas Region Yellow Pages LLC. Therefore, the certification is
limited to only those workers within the Publishing Operations
Group who are located at (or report to) Dallas, Texas.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in YP Texas Region Yellow
Pages LLC, Dallas, Texas Division, Publishing Operations
Group, Dallas, Texas have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because YP Texas Region
Yellow Pages LLC has acquired from a foreign country the supply
of services like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by the subject workers, which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at YP Texas Region Yellow Pages
LLC, Dallas, Texas Division, Publishing Operations Group,
Dallas, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of YP Texas Region
Yellow Pages LLC, Dallas, Texas Division, Publishing
Operations Group, including on-site leased workers, Dallas,
Texas, who were engaged in employment related to the supply of
publishing operations 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 YP Texas Region Yellow Pages LLC, Dallas,
Texas Division, Publishing Operations Group, including
workers whose wages are paid under YP Texas Region
Advertising Group LLC and/or YP Advertising LP, and
including on-site leased workers from Zero Chaos, Dallas,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 7, 2011, 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 17th day of January, 2013
