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 5, 2016 on behalf of workers of Cengage
Learning, Inc., Global Product Technology (GPT) Technology
Division, Cengage Learning Technology Solutions Department, a
subsidiary of Cengage Learning Holdings II LP, Mason, Ohio (TA-
W-91,280), Independence, Kentucky (TA-W-91,280A), Boston,
Massachusetts (TA-W-91,280B), San Francisco, California (TA-W-
91,280C), and Farmington Hills, Michigan (TA-W-91,280D)
(hereafter collective referred to as Cengage-GPT-CLTS).
Cengage Learning, Inc. provides educational content,
technology, and services for K-12, higher education,
professional and library markets. Workers of Cengage-GPT-CLTS
(subject worker group) are engaged in activities related to the
supply of information technology (IT) services. The subject
worker group does not include on-site leased workers.
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 Cengage-GPT-CLTS 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 group separations at Cengage-
GPT-CLTS.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cengage-GPT-CLTS, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology 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 Cengage Learning, Inc., Global Product
Technology (GPT) Technology Division, Cengage Learning
Technology Solutions Department, a subsidiary of Cengage
Learning Holdings II LP, Mason, Ohio (TA-W-91,280),
Independence, Kentucky (TA-W-91,280A), Boston,
Massachusetts (TA-W-91,280B), San Francisco, California
(TA-W-91,280C), and Farmington Hills, Michigan (TA-W-
91,280D), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 4, 2015, 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 13th day of February, 2016
