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 June 18, 2013 on behalf of workers of The National
Underwriter Company, a subsidiary of Summit Business Media,
Media Production Department, Erlanger, Kentucky (TA-W-82,821)
and The National Underwriter Company, a subsidiary of Summit
Business Media, Media Production Department, Centennial,
Colorado (TA-W-82,821A). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of design and computer
graphics services in support of the firm's media and
information business.
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 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of a
service like or directly competitive with the service supplied
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at The National Underwriter Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The National
Underwriter Company, a subsidiary of Summit Business Media,
Media Production Department, Erlanger, Kentucky (TA-W-82,821)
and The National Underwriter Company, a subsidiary of Summit
Business Media, Media Production Department, Centennial,
Colorado (TA-W-82,821A), who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of research and development services in support
of the firm's media and information business 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 The National Underwriter Company, a
subsidiary of Summit Business Media, Media Production
Department, Erlanger, Kentucky (TA-W-82,821) and The
National Underwriter Company, a subsidiary of Summit
Business Media, Media Production Department, Centennial,
Colorado (TA-W-82,821A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 7, 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 July, 2013.
