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 January 31, 2013 by workers of L.M. Berry and Company
LLC, Nashville, Tennessee Division, Publishing Operations Group,
YP Subsidiary Holdings LLC, YP LLC, YP Holdings LLC, Nashville,
Tennessee. L.M. Berry and Company LLC, Nashville, Tennessee
Division, 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 L.M.
Berry and Company LLC. Therefore, the certification is limited
to only those workers within the Publishing Operations Group who
are located at (or report to) Nashville, Tennessee.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in L.M. Berry and Company LLC,
Nashville, Tennessee Division, Publishing Operations Group,
Nashville, Tennessee have become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because L.M. Berry and
Company LLC, has acquired from a foreign country the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at L.M. Berry and Company LLC, Nashville, Tennessee
Division, Publishing Operations Group, Nashville, Tennessee.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of L.M. Berry and Company
LLC, Nashville, Tennessee Division, Publishing Operation Group,
Nashville, Tennessee, 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 L.M. Berry and Company LLC, Nashville,
Tennessee Division, Publishing Operations Group, YP
Subsidiary Holdings LLC, YP LLC, YP Holdings LLC, Nashville,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 30, 2012, 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 14th day of March, 2013
