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, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 19, 2013, applicable to workers of John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Composition Services Group, Indianapolis, Indiana (TA-W-82,972). The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2013 (79 FR 63498).
The Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information from the company revealed that worker separations in the Information Technology Department and the Manufacturing Department are attributable to the same acquisition of services from a foreign country that contributed importantly to worker separations in the Composition Services Group.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the firm’s acquisition of services from a foreign country.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers from the Information Technology Department and the Manufacturing Department at the Indianapolis, Indiana location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,972 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Composition Services Group, Information Technology Department, and Manufacturing Department, Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 9, 2012 through September 19, 2015, 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 25th day of July, 2014.

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 August 13, 2013 on behalf of workers of John Wiley and
Sons, Inc., Composition Services Group, Indianapolis, Indiana.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
publishing. The worker group is engaged in activities related to
the supply of composition 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 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 services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker separations at John Wiley
and Sons, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of John Wiley and Sons,
Inc., Composition Services Group, Indianapolis, Indiana, who are
engaged in the supply of composition 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 John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Composition
Services Group, Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August
9, 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."
