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 May 2, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, Portland, Oregon
(R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of telephone
books/directories, other printed products, and digitally printed
products and the supply of related services, such as
warehousing and order fulfillment services.
The worker group (R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company) includes
on-site leased workers from Staffmark and Kelly Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, the subject
firm's major declining customer(s), and public sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in R.R. Donnelley & Sons
Company 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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, Portland,
Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of R.R. Donnelley & Sons
Company 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 R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, including
on-site leased workers from Staffmark and Kelly Services,
Portland, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 29, 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 14th day of August 2017.
