Supermedia LLC, Publishing Operations Divison, Account Management
Group, a Subsidiary of Dex Media Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers
From TAC Worldwide Companies, St. Petersburg, Florida; Supermedia LLC,
Publishing Operations Divison, Internet Publishing Operations Group, a
Subsidiary of Dex Media Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers From TAC
Worldwide Companies, St. Petersburg, Florida; Supermedia LLC,
Publishing Operations Divison, Listing Management Group, a Subsidiary
of Dex Media Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers From TAC Worldwide
Companies, St. Petersburg, Florida; Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On August 2, 2013, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a
negative determination applicable to workers and former workers of
SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division, Account Management
Group, Internet Publishing Operations Group, and Listing Management
Group, a subsidiary of Dex Media, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida.
Workers within the Publishing Operations Division are separately
identifiable by service supplied.
The subject worker groups include on-site leased workers from TAC
Worldwide Companies.
Workers of SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division,
Accounting Management Group (TA-W-82,680) and the Listing Management
[[Page 61388]]
Group (TA-W-82,680B), St. Petersburg, Florida were eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-74,033 (expired on
July 27, 2012).
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.
After the issuance of the negative determination, the Department
received revised information from the subject firm regarding Account
Management Group (TA-W-82,680) and Internet Publishing Operations Group
(TA-W-82,680A).
With regards to Account Management Group and Internet Publishing
Operations Group, the Department determines that Section 222(a)(1) has
been met because a significant number or proportion of the workers in
each Group have become totally or partially separated.
With regards to Account Management Group (TA-W-82,680) and Internet
Publishing Operations Group (TA-W-82,680A), the Department determines
that Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because SuperMedia LLC has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or directly
competitive with those supplied by the subject workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at SuperMedia LLC,
Publishing Operation Division, Account Management Group and Internet
Publishing Operations Group, St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Department did not receive new or revised information regarding
Listing Management Group (TA-W-82,680B). Consequently, the
determination applicable to workers and former workers of SuperMedia
LLC, Publishing Operation Division, Listing Management Group, St.
Petersburg, Florida is unchanged.
Conclusion
I affirm that, with regards to SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation
Division, Listing Management Group, St. Petersburg, Florida, the
requirements of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 2272, have not
been met and, therefore, deny the petition for group eligibility of
SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division, Listing Management
Group, a subsidiary of Dex Media, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida (TA-W-
82,680B), in accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273.
After careful review of the new information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers and former
workers of SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division, Account
Management Group and Internet Publishing Operations Group, St.
Petersburg, Florida, 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 SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division,
Account Management Group, a subsidiary of Dex Media, Inc., St.
Petersburg, Florida (TA-W-82,680) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 28, 2012 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; and
All workers of SuperMedia LLC, Publishing Operation Division,
Internet Publishing Operations Group, a subsidiary of Dex Media,
Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida (TA-W-82,680A) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 17, 2012
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.
