Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on January 7, 2010, applicable to workers
of Experian, Global Technology Services, a subsidiary of
Experian, including on-site leased workers from Tapfin,
Schaumburg, Illinois. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7037).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to information technology (IT)
services.
New information shows that a worker separation has occurred
involving an employee under the control of the Schaumburg,
Illinois location of Experian, Global Technology Services, a
subsidiary of Experian, working off-site in New York. This
employee provided various activities related to the supply of
information technology (IT) services.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of the Schaumburg, Illinois
facility of the subject firm working off-site in New York.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in information technology (IT) services to Chile and
Costa Rica.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,496 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Experian, Global Technology Services, a
subsidiary of Experian, including an leased employee from
Tapfin working off-site in New York and on-site leased
workers from Tapfin, Schaumburg, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 5, 2008 through January 7, 2012, 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.”

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 October 6, 2009 on behalf of workers of Experian,
Global Technology Services, a subsidiary of Experian,
Schaumburg, Illinois (Experian Schaumburg). The workers are
engaged in activities related to information technology
services. The worker group also includes on-site leased
workers from TAPFIN.
The investigation revealed that workers of Experian
Schaumburg who are engaged in activities related to information
technology services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have become totally or partially separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
of information technology services by Experian Schaumburg to
Costa Rica and Chile.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology services by Experian Schaumburg to Costa
Rica and Chile contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Experian Schaumburg.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Experian, Global
Technology Services, a subsidiary of Experian, including on-site
leased workers from TAPFIN, Schaumburg, Illinois who are engaged
in activities related to information technology 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 Experian, Global Technology Services, a
subsidiary of Experian, including on-site leased workers
from TAPFIN, Schaumburg, Illinois, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 5,
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.”
