Von Hoffman Corporation, a
Subsidiary of RR Donnelley & Sons
Company, Jefferson City Plant,
Including On-Site Leased Workers
From Employment Plus and
Manpower, Jefferson City, Missouri;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
On April 8, 2014, the Department of
Labor (Department) issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
applicable to workers and former
workers of Von Hoffman Corporation, a
subsidiary of RR Donnelley & Sons
Company, Jefferson City Plant,
including on-site leased workers from
Employment Plus and Manpower,
Jefferson City, Missouri (subject firm).
The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on April 29, 2014 (79
FR 24014). Workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of
educational textbooks and commercial
catalogues.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department carefully
reviewed previously-submitted
information, obtained additional
information from the subject firm, and
conducted an industry analysis of like
or directly competitive articles.
Previously-provided information
reveals that a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm
was separated and that sales and
production at the subject firm declined.
Based on new information obtained
during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determines that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm
contributed importantly to worker
separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers of the subject
firm, who were engaged in employment
related to production of textbooks and
catalogues, 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 Von Hoffman Corporation,
a subsidiary of RR Donnelley & Sons
Company, Jefferson City Plant, including on-

site leased workers from Employment Plus
and Manpower, Jefferson City, Missouri, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 26, 2012,
through two years from the date of this
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
June, 2014.
