Jkt 226001
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.

instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
The Department notes that a Federal
agency cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it is

to respond to a collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Impact Evaluation of the
YouthBuild Program is a seven-year,
experimental design evaluation, funded
by the Department’s Employment and
Training Administration and the
Corporation for National and
Community Service (CNCS).
YouthBuild is a youth and community
development program that addresses
several core issues facing low-income
communities: Youth education,
employment, criminal behavior, social
and emotional development and
affordable housing. The program
primarily serves high school dropouts
and focuses on helping them attain a
high school diploma or general
educational development certificate,
and teaching them construction skills
geared toward career placement. The
evaluation will measure core program

participant outcomes including
educational attainment, postsecondary
planning, employment, earnings,
delinquency and involvement with the
criminal justice system, and youth
social and emotional development. The
evaluation represents an important
opportunity for DOL and CNCS to add
to the growing body of knowledge about
the impacts of ‘‘second chance’’
programs for youth who have dropped
out of high school. Compared to peers
who remain in school, high school
dropouts are more likely to be
disconnected from school and work, be
incarcerated, be unmarried, and have
children outside of marriage. The target
population for the program, and
correspondingly the study, is out-ofschool youth, aged 16–24, from lowincome families or in foster care and
who are offenders, migrants, disabled or
children of incarcerated parents.
The evaluation of the YouthBuild
program will address the following
research questions:
• Operation: How is YouthBuild
designed in each participating site?
What are the key implementation
practices that affect how the program
operates? How does the local context
affect program implementation and the
services available to members of the
control group?
• Participation: What are the
characteristics of youth who enroll in
the study? How are these characteristics
shaped by YouthBuild recruitment and
screening practices?
• Impacts: What are YouthBuild’s
impacts on educational attainment,
planning, and aspirations? What are
YouthBuild’s impacts on employment,
earnings, and job characteristics? What
are YouthBuild’s impacts on crime and
delinquency? What are the program’s
impacts on social-emotional
development, identity development,
and self-regulation?
• Costs: How does the net cost per
participant compare with the impacts
the program generates?
The contract to conduct an
independent, rigorous evaluation was
awarded in June 2010. MDRC, the prime
contractor, is working with Mathematica
Policy Research and Social Policy
Research Associates, to design and
implement the evaluation, which will
continue until 2017. The evaluation
consists of an implementation
component, an impact component and a
cost-effectiveness component. The
entire universe of 2011 DOL and CNCSfunded YouthBuild grantees will
participate in the implementation
component of the evaluation. Of the
universe of grantees, the study team will
recruit 84 randomly-selected grantees

Application for Reconsideration
By application dated January 12, 2012, three workers requested
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former workers of Specialty Bar Products
