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 December 17, 2009 on behalf of workers of The Regulus
Group, a division of 3iInfotech, formerly doing business as
First Remittance Processing, a subsidiary of First Tennessee
Bank, Louisville, Kentucky. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Spherion.
The investigation revealed that workers of subject firm,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
remittance processing services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service, which is
directly competitive with those supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
remittance processing services contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Louisville, Kentucky facility.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Regulus Group, a
division of 3iInfotech, Louisville, Kentucky, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of remittance processing
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 The Regulus Group, a division of 3iInfotech,
formerly doing business as First Remittance Processing, a
subsidiary of First Tennessee Bank, including on-site leased
workers from Spherion, Louisville, Kentucky, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 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 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 5th day of May, 2010
