RR Donnelley, Inc., Including On-Site
Leased Workers From Manpower and
Kelly Services, Bloomsburg, PA;
Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated February 25,
2012, the petitioners 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, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from
Manpower and Kelly Services,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania (subject
firm). The Department’s Notice of
determination was issued on February
3, 2012 and published in the Federal
Register on February 21, 2012 (77 FR
9973).
The workers engage in activities
related to the production of hard and
soft cover books. The initial
determination was based on the findings
that worker separations were not
attributable to increased imports by the
subject firm or its declining customers
of articles like or directly competitive
with hard and soft cover books or a shift
to/acquisition from a foreign country by
the workers’ firm in the production of
articles like or directly competitive with
hard and soft cover books.

PlumChoice, Inc. to be considered
leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by increased customer imports
of sales and technical support services.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Technisource working on-site at
the Scarborough, Maine location of the
subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–81,114 is hereby issued as
follows:
‘‘All workers from PlumChoice, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from
Balance Staffing, Insight Global Staffing, and
Technisource, Scarborough, Maine, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2010,
through February 3, 2014, 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 1074, as
amended.’’
