LANDAMERICA TAX AND FLOOD
A SUBSIDIARY OF LANDAMERICA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on January 13, 2006, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of LandAmerica
Tax and Flood, a subsidiary of LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc.,
Englewood, Colorado. Workers of the subject firm were engaged in
flood zone determinations.
The investigation revealed that LandAmerica Tax and Flood, a
subsidiary of LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., Englewood,
Colorado, does not produce an article within the meaning of Section
222(a)(2) of the Act. In order to be considered eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, the worker group seeking certification (or on whose behalf
certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must be
a relationship between the workers' work and the article produced
by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. Workers
performing the flood zone determinations described above do not
support a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an article
domestically and thus the worker group can not be considered import
impacted or affected by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot
be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
LandAmerica Tax and Flood, a subsidiary of LandAmerica Financial
Group, Inc., Englewood, Colorado are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 1st day of March 2006
