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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. (Set forth in Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 15, 2009 on behalf of workers of Stored Value
Solutions, Inc., El Paso, Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El
Paso, Texas. The workers are engaged in activities related to
call center services. The workers are not separately
identifiable by services.
The worker group of Stored Value Solutions Inc., El Paso,
Texas also includes on-site leased workers from Today's Office
Professionals, Kforce, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Cognizant
Technology Solutions US Corp., and Randstad Staffing Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Stored Value
Solutions, Inc., El Paso, Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El
Paso, Texas who are engaged in activities related to call
center services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least 5 percent of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in call center services by Stored Value Solutions, Inc.,
El Paso, Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El Paso, Texas to
the Philippines.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in call
center services by Stored Value Solutions, Inc., El Paso,
Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El Paso, Texas to the
Philippines contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Stored Value Solutions, Inc., El Paso, Texas
and Comdata Network, Inc., El Paso, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stored Value
Solutions, Inc., El Paso, Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El
Paso, Texas, including on-site leased workers from Today's
Office Professionals, Kforce, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc.,
Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp., and Randstad Staffing
Services, El Paso, Texas, who are engaged in employment related
to call center 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 Stored Value Solutions, Inc., El Paso,
Texas and Comdata Network, Inc., El Paso, Texas,
including on-site leased workers from Today's Office
Professionals, Kforce, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc.,
Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp., and Randstad
Staffing Services, El Paso, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 12,
2008, through two years from the date of 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, D.C., this 3rd day of September, 2009
