Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 23, 2016 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Branded Entertainment Network, Inc., formerly known
as Corbis Corporation, a subsidiary of Branded Entertainment
Network Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
SCOM, Kelly Services, Accountemps, and Filter, Seattle,
Washington (herein referred to as "Branded Entertainment
Network, Inc., formerly known as Corbis Corporation"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
image licensing services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Branded
Entertainment Network, Inc., formerly known as Corbis
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Branded Entertainment
Network, Inc., formerly known as Corbis Corporation, a
subsidiary of Branded Entertainment Network Holdings, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from SCOM, Kelly Services,
Accountemps, and Filter, Seattle, Washington, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of image licensing services
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 Branded Entertainment Network, Inc.,
formerly known as Corbis Corporation, a subsidiary of
Branded Entertainment Network Holdings, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from SCOM, Kelly Services,
Accountemps, and Filter, Seattle, Washington, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 20, 2015 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the 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, D.C. this 29th day of July 2016.
