    On February 17, 2011, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of Quad Tech, Inc. (subject firm), Sussex, Wisconsin 
(TA-W-73,441A) to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The 
Department's Notice was published in the Federal Register on March 15, 
2011 (76 FR 14099).

[[Page 61750]]

    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the subject firm company 
official clarified that the worker who requested reconsideration worked 
at Quad Graphics, Inc., Hartford, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441E). Further, 
additional clarifying information was received which resulted in an 
expanded reconsideration investigation that included:
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff 
Management, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs;
     Quad Tech, Inc., including leased workers from FIRSTECH, 
Eagle Technology Group, Inc., and RCM Technologies, Sussex, Wisconsin 
(TA-W-73,441A), engaged in the production of automated controls and 
finishing controls for printing presses and supply of support services;
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff 
Management, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441B), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs;
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff 
Management, Inc., Pewaukee, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441C), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs;
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff 
Management, Inc., Lomira, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441D), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs;
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff 
Management, Inc., Hartford, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441E), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs;
     World Color Mt. Morris II, LLC, a subsidiary of Quad 
Graphics, Inc., Mt. Morris, Illinois (TA-W-73,441F), engaged in the 
production of magazines and catalogs; and
     Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from SPS 
Temporaries, Depew, New York (TA-W-73,441G), engaged in the production 
of paperback books.
    The reconsideration investigation revealed that the following 
worker groups have met the certification criteria under Section 222(a) 
of the Trade Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a): TA-W-73,441, TA-W-73,441A, TA-W-
73,441B, TA-W-73,441F, and TA-W-73,441G.
    Criterion I has been met because a significant number or proportion 
of workers at each of the aforementioned worker groups have become 
totally or partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
    Criterion II has been met because there has been an acquisition 
from a foreign country by the subject firm of articles that are like or 
directly competitive with those produced by the aforementioned worker 
groups.
    Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of articles 
contributed importantly to the workers' separation or threat of 
separation at the afore-mentioned worker groups.
    A careful review of the administrative record and additional 
information obtained by the Department during the reconsideration 
investigation revealed that the following worker groups have not met 
the certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Trade Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2272(a): TA-W-73,441C, TA-W-73,441D and TA-W-73,441E.
    Criterion I has not been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers' at each of the afore-mentioned worker groups 
have not become totally or partially separated, nor threatened to 
become totally or partially separated.
    29 CFR 90.2 states that a significant number or proportion of the 
workers means at least three (3) workers in a firm (or appropriate 
subdivision thereof) with a workforce of fewer than 50 workers, or five 
(5) percent of the workers or 50 workers, whichever is less, in a 
workforce of 50 or more workers.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Quad Graphics, Inc., Pewaukee, 
Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441C); Quad Graphics, Inc., Lomira, Wisconsin (TA-W-
73,441D); and Quad Graphics, Inc., Hartford, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441E). 
Further, after careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers and former workers of Quad 
Graphics, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin; Quad Tech, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin; 
Quad Graphics, Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin; World Color Mt. Morris II, 
LLC, Mt. Morris, Illinois; and Quad Graphics, Inc., Depew, New York, 
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 Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers 
from Staff Management, Inc., Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441); Quad 
Tech, Inc., including leased workers from FIRSTECH, Eagle Technology 
Group, Inc., and RCM Technologies, Sussex, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441A); 
Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers from Staff Management, 
Inc., West Allis, Wisconsin (TA-W-73,441B); World Color Mt. Morris 
II, LLC, a subsidiary of Quad Graphics, Inc., Mt. Morris, Illinois 
(TA-W-73,441F); and Quad Graphics, Inc., including leased workers 
from SPS Temporaries, Depew, New York (TA-W-73,441G), who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
2, 2009, through two years from the date of this revised 
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or 
partial separation from employment on 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, DC, this 27th day of September 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
