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 February 23, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Branded Entertainment Network, Inc., FKA Corbis
Corporation, Hudson Street Facility, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Branded Entertainment Network Holdings, Inc., New York, New
York (TA-W-92,664) and Branded Entertainment Network, Inc.,
FKA Corbis Corporation, Varick Street Facility, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Branded Entertainment Network Holdings, Inc.,
New York, New York (TA-W-92,664A)(hereafter collectively
referred to as "Branded Entertainment Network-New York"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
entertainment advertising services. The subject worker group
(Branded Entertainment Network-New York) does not include on-
site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Branded Entertainment
Network-New York 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 entertainment advertising
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Branded
Entertainment Network-New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Branded Entertainment
Network-New York, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of entertainment advertising 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 Branded Entertainment Network, Inc., FKA
Corbis Corporation, Hudson Street Facility, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Branded Entertainment Network
Holdings, Inc., New York, New York (TA-W-92,664) and
Branded Entertainment Network, Inc., FKA Corbis
Corporation, Varick Street Facility, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Branded Entertainment Network Holdings,
Inc., New York, New York (TA-W-92,664A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 22, 2016 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 20th day of October 2017.
