Certification Regarding Eligibility

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 December 1, 2009, on behalf of workers of Deutsche Bank
Services New Jersey, Inc., Finance Division, Jersey City, New
Jersey (hereinafter referred to as Deutsche Bank, Finance
Division). The workers are engaged in activities related to the
supply of legal entity controlling services and infrastructure
cost analysis.
The investigation revealed that workers of Deutsche Bank,
Finance Division, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of legal entity controlling and infrastructure cost
analysis services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers' firm were separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like
directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of legal
entity controlling and infrastructure cost analysis services
to India by Deutsche Bank, Finance Division contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Jersey City,
New Jersey facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Deutsche Bank
Services New Jersey, Inc., Finance Division, Jersey City, New
Jersey, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
legal entity controlling and infrastructure cost 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 Services New Jersey, Inc.,
Finance Division, Jersey City, New Jersey, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 16th day of July, 2010.
