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 26, 2016 on behalf of workers of Yellow Pages
Digital & Media Solutions, LLC, Information Systems and
Information Technology Division, a subsidiary of Yellow Pages
Group Holding (USA), Blue Bell, Pennsylvania (Yellow Pages
Digital & Media Solutions, LLC). Workers of Yellow Pages
Digital & Media Solutions, LLC are engaged in activities related
to the supply of software support services. The subject worker
group (Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions, LLC) does not
include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Yellow Pages Digital &
Media Solutions, LLC 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 supply of a(n)
services like or directly competitive with the service supplied
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions, LLC.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Yellow Pages Digital &
Media Solutions, LLC, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of software support
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 Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions,
LLC, Information Systems and Information Technology
Division, a subsidiary of Yellow Pages Group Holding
(USA), Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 16,
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 5th day of August 2016.
