UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
TA-W-98,078
GANNETT CO., INC.
CORPORATE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING, SOUTHWEST TIMES RECORD
FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS
Notice of Termination of Trade Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance Investigation
Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated in response to a Trade Adjustment
Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) petition dated October 6, 2021, and filed on
October 7, 2021, by a state workforce office on behalf of former
workers of Gannett Co., Inc., Corporate Finance and Accounting,
Southwest Times Record, Fort Smith, Arkansas.
20 C.F.R. 618.210(e)(1) states that the Department of Labor may
terminate an investigation if the investigation establishes one of
the following: (i) The petition is invalid, which includes
petitions identifying a nonexistent group of workers, filed under
false pretenses, or perpetuating fraud; (ii) The petitioner has
withdrawn the petition in writing; (iii) The group of workers
identified in the investigation is the same as a group of workers
identified in another pending investigation; (iv) The group of
workers identified in the investigation already has been issued a
denial, and the period of investigation applicable to the current
investigation and the previous denial is the same; or (v) The group
of workers identified in the investigation is already covered by a
certification that does not expire within 90 calendar days of the
determination.
The investigation revealed that the petitioning group of
workers is the same as the group of workers identified in the
pending investigation of TA-W-97,108. Further investigation in this
case would duplicate efforts and serve no purpose. Consequently,
the investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 2nd day of November, 2021
