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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of
SourceCorp/ImageEntry, Monticello, Kentucky (SourceCorp). The
workers are engaged in activities related to data entry
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of SourceCorp. who
are engaged in activities related to data entry services meet
the criteria for certification.
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 during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of data entry services by SourceCorp have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
services like or directly competitive with data entry services
by SourceCorp have increased. Specifically, a customer has
increased their reliance on imports like or directly
competitive with data entry services by SourceCorp during the
relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of data entry services by customers of
SourceCorp contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at SourceCorp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of
SourceCorp/ImageEntry, Monticello, Kentucky, who are engaged in
activities related to data entry 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 SourceCorp/ImageEntry, Monticello,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 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 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 6th day of April, 2010.
