CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC.

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 October 27, 2009 on behalf of workers of Citicorp
North America, Inc., ACASH Division, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
account opening services. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of Randstad.
The investigation revealed that workers of Citicorp North
America, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of account opening services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers are threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because the firm has shifted to
a foreign country the acquisition of services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied at the Fort Lauderdale,
Florida facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in services
to India by Citicorp North America, Inc. contributed
importantly to threatened worker group separations at Citicorp
North America, Inc., ACASH Division, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Citicorp North
America, Inc., ACASH Division, Fort Lauderdale, Florida who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of account opening
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 Citicorp North America, Inc., ACASH
Division, including on-site leased workers of Randstad,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 16, 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 10th day of December, 2009
