of the San Francisco, California location
of the subject firm. Both facilities are
engaged in activities related to the
supply of publishing operations
services, and have experienced worker
separations during the relevant time
period due to a shift in these services to
a foreign country.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to include

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
