FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY
ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA

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 November 5, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by the Employment Development
Department of the State of California on behalf of workers of First
American Title Insurance Company, Roseville, California. The
workers performed residential and commercial title research and
reports.
The investigation revealed that workers of First American
Title Insurance Company, Roseville, California, do 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. The First American Title Insurance
Company workers 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 assis-
tance (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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of First American
Title Insurance Company, Roseville, California are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
