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 November 22, 2016, by the State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of LexisNexis, Case Law Operations Division,
a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier, PLC. and RELX, Inc., Colorado
Springs, Colorado (LexisNexis-Case Law). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of legal database
content, which provides online legal research tool services.
The subject worker group (LexisNexis-Case Law) includes on-
site leased workers from Allegis.
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 LexisNexis-Case Law 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 services like
or directly competitive with the legal database content
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at LexisNexis-Case
Law.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LexisNexis, Case Law
Operations Division, Colorado Springs, Colorado, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of legal database
content, 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 LexisNexis, Case Law Operations Division,
a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier, PLC. and RELX, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Allegis, Colorado
Springs, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 21, 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 9th day of March 2017.
