Amended 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, on August 30, 2013, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration regarding workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers of SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operations Division, Account Management Group (TA-W-82,680), Internet Publishing Operations Group (TA-W-82,680A) and Listing Management Group (TA-W-82,680B), a subsidiary of Dex Media Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida. The afore-mentioned worker groups are engaged in activities related to the supply of publishing, advertising and media services, and include on-site leased workers from TAC Worldwide Companies.
Following the issuance of the revised determination on reconsideration, the Department received a request from a separated worker to amend the certification to include workers at two affiliated facilities which operated in conjunction with the St. Petersburg, Florida facility: Westerville, Ohio (TA-W-82,680C) and Lexington, Kentucky (TA-W-82,680D).
During the amendment investigation, the Department received information that the afore-mentioned facilities operated in conjunction with the St. Petersburg, Florida facility, that the worker separations at the afore-mentioned facilities are related to a shift in the supply of services by the workers’ firm to a foreign country, and that the worker groups covered by TA-W-82,680C and TA-W-82,680D do not include on-site leased workers. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,680 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operations Division, a subsidiary of Dex Media Inc., Westerville, Ohio (TA-W-82,680C) and Lexington, Kentucky (TA-W-82,680D) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 17, 2012 through August 30, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on August 30, 2013 through August 30, 2015, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

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 April 1, 2013 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Hewlett Packard Company, HPSW Application
Management Research & Development Division, Andover,
Massachusetts (HPSW-R&D). The subject worker group is engaged
in activities related to the supply of research and development
services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in HPSW-R&D 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 supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the research and development
services supplied by the subject workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at HPSW-R&D.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, HPSW Application Management Research & Development
Division, Andover, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of research and development 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 Hewlett Packard Company, HPSW Application
Management Research & Development Division, Andover,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 29, 2012, 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 23rd day of August, 2013.
