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. See 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 July 30, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Finance Asset Management
Division, New York, New York. The workers provide accounting
and financial analysis services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Deutsche Bank
AG, New York Branch, Finance Asset Management Division, New
York, New York, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of accounting and financial analysis services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the firm has
shifted abroad the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in the
supply of accounting and financial analysis services to India
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the New
York, New York location.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Deutsche Bank AG, New
York Branch, Finance Asset Management Division, New York, New
York, who are engaged in employment related to the supply of
accounting and financial analysis 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 Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Finance
Asset Management Division, New York, New York who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 27, 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."
