    On October 6, 2014, the Department issued a determination which 
identified SBSUN and IVDB as one firm located in Ontario, California, 
and stated that the subject firm did not shift production of 
newspapers, or like or directly competitive articles, to a foreign 
country; did not increase imports of newspapers, or like or directly 
competitive articles; and is neither a Supplier or Downstream Producer 
to a firm that employer a worker group eligible to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under Section 222(a) of the Trade Act of

    The request for reconsideration included new information which 
clarifies that SBSUN and IVADB are different entities and supported the 
petitioner's allegation that magazine advertisement production shifted 
from California to a foreign country.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department carefully 
reviewed new and previously-submitted information from several 
separated workers, the State of California, the subject firm, and 
public sources. The Department also reviewed industry trends with 
regards to like or directly competitive articles.
    Consequently, the Department determines that the subject worker 
group was incorrectly identified to consist of workers and former 
workers of one firm instead of two affiliated firms--SBSUN and IVDB--
and clarifies that the subject worker groups consist of workers within 
the ``Magazine Advertisement Unit'' of the after-mentioned firms 
(SBSUN-MAU and IVCB-MAU, respectively). The Department also determines 
that, with regards to SBSUN-MAU and IVCB-MAU, the group eligibility 
criteria have been met.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers in SBSUN-MAU and IVCB-MAU have become totally 
or partially separated.
    Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the employment declines 
within SBSUN-MAU and IVCB-MAU are related to the shift in production of 
magazine advertisements to a foreign country followed by likely or 
actual increased imports of magazine advertisements (or like or 
directly competitive articles).
    In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``Act''), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department herein presents the results 
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
    The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under 
Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if the 
following criteria are met:
    (I) Whether a significant number of workers in the workers' firm 
are 50 years of age or older;
    (II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills that 
are not easily transferable; and
    (III) The competitive conditions within the workers' industry 
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).
    Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a significant 
number of workers in the firms are 50 years of age or older. Section 
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers in the workers' 
firms possess skills that are not easily transferrable. Section 
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because conditions within the 
workers' industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of information obtained during the initial and 
reconsideration investigations, I determine that workers of SBSUN-MAU 
and IVCB-MAU, who are engaged in employment related to the production 
of advertisements, 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

adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
