RR Donnelley & Sons, Inc., Premedia Services Division, Including 
On-Site Leased Workers From Kelly Services Seattle, WA; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 14, 2011, a State Workforce Official 
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of RR Donnelley & Sons, 
Inc., Premedia Services Division, Seattle, Washington (subject firm). 
The determination was issued on November 17, 2011. The Department's 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
December 6, 2011 (76 FR 76186). The workers were engaged in activities 
related to the production of digital photography, printed proofs and 
digital files.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that the subject firm did not import digital 
photography, printed proofs and digital files (or like or directly 
competitive articles) in 2009, 2010, or January through June 2011. 
Surveys of the subject firm's major declining customers revealed no 
imports of digital photography, printed proofs and digital files (or 
like or directly competitive articles) during the relevant period.
    The investigation also revealed that a shift in production by the 
subject firm did not contribute importantly to the separations at the 
subject firm, and that the subject firm is neither a Supplier nor a 
Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who 
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied new 
information regarding a possible shift to/acquisition from a foreign 
country by the subject firm in the production of articles like or 
directly competitive with the digital photography, printed proofs and 
digital files produced by the subject workers.
    The Department of Labor has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
petitioning worker group at the subject firm meet the eligibility 
requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of January 2012.
