Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Notice of Termination of Investigation

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.

Per 29 CFR 90, a petition may be filed on behalf of a group
of workers as defined as "three or more workers in a firm or an
appropriate subdivision thereof" and a significant number of
workers is defined as "at least three workers in a firm (or
appropriate subdivision thereof) with a work force of fewer than
50 workers would ordinarily have to be affected."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 8, 2017, by an official of tronc, Inc.
(subject firm) on behalf of workers of tronc, Inc., Technology
Division, including on-site leased workers from Apex Systems,
Bitwise, Infosys, iSpace, Swoon Technology Resources,
TEKsystems, and Tata Consulting Services, Chicago, Illinois
(TA-W-92,625), tronc, Inc., Technology Division, including on-
site leased workers from Tata Consulting Services, Lewisville,
Texas (TA-W-92,625A), tronc, Inc., Technology Division,

site leased workers from Tata Consulting Services, Irwindale,
California (TA-W-92,625O) (hereafter referred to collectively
as "tronc-Technology"). The subject firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of media services; the subject
worker group (tronc-Technology) supplies internal technology
support services to all divisions of the subject firm.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm/petitioner.
TA-W-92,625J through TA-W-92,625O
The Department determines that the petitions applicable
to tronc, Inc., Technology Department, Newport News, Virginia
(TA-W-92,625J), Washington, District of Columbia (TA-W-
92,625K), Annapolis, Maryland (TA-W-92,625L), 300 E. Cromwell
Street, Baltimore, Maryland (TA-W-92,625M), 2000 E. 8th Street,
Los Angeles, California (TA-W-92,625N), and Irwindale,
California (TA-W-92,625O) are invalid because each of these
locations have fewer than three affected workers.
Consequently, the investigations for petitions TA-W-92,625J
through TA-W-92,625O have been terminated.
TA-W-92,625, TA-W-92,625A through TA-W-92,625I
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at tronc, Inc., Technology
Division, Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-92,625), Lewisville, Texas
(TA-W-92,625A), Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-92,625B), 501 N.
Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland (TA-W-92,625C), Orlando,
Florida (TA-W-92,625D), Deerfield Beach, Florida (TA-W-92,625E),
202 W. Broad Street, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-92,625F),
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-92,625G), 600 B Street, Suite 1201,
San Diego, California (TA-W-92,625H), and 350 Camino de la
Reina, San Diego, California (TA-W-92,625I), 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 the supply of
technology services like or directly competitive with those
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at tronc, Inc., Technology Division,
Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-92,625), Lewisville, Texas (TA-W-
92,625A), Allentown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-92,625B), 501 N.
Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland (TA-W-92,625C), Orlando,
Florida (TA-W-92,625D), Deerfield Beach, Florida (TA-W-
92,625E), 202 W. Broad Street, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-
92,625F), Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-92,625G), 600 B Street,
Suite 1201, San Diego, California (TA-W-92,625H), and 350
Camino de la Reina, San Diego, California (TA-W-92,625I).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, the Department determines that the petitions
applicable to workers and former workers of tronc, Inc.,
Technology Department, Newport News, Virginia (TA-W-92,625J),
Washington, District of Columbia (TA-W-92,625K), Annapolis,
Maryland (TA-W-92,625L), 300 E. Cromwell Street, Baltimore,
Maryland (TA-W-92,625M), 2000 E. 8th Street, Los Angeles,
California (TA-W-92,625N), and Irwindale, California (TA-W-
92,625O) are invalid and, therefore, the investigations for the
respective petitions have been terminated.

investigation, I determine that workers of tronc, Inc.,

internal technology 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:
