PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (“PwC”)
INTERNAL FIRM SERVICES CLIENT ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATORS GROUP
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

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 September 1, 2010, applicable to workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services
(“IFS”) Group, Charlotte, North Carolina. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2010 (75 FR
57515).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
IFS workers supply professional services and public accounting
services.
New information shows that the Department did not correctly
state the subject firm name in its entirety on the certification
decision. The correct name of the subject firm should read
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services Client
Account Administrators Group.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to correct the name of the subject firm to read
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services Client
Account Administrators Group.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,608 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”),
Internal Firm Services Client Account Administrator
Group, Charlotte, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
February 26, 2009, through September 1, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 20th day of October 2010.

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 March 3, 2010 on behalf of workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services (“IFS”)
Group, Charlotte, North Carolina. The IFS workers supply
professional services and public accounting services.
The investigation revealed that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services (“IFS”)
Group, who supply professional services and public accounting
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers at the workers’ firm have become totally or partially
separated. Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
professional services and public accounting services from Uruguay
by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”), contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Charlotte, North Carolina
facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers,
LLP (“PwC”), Internal Firm Services (“IFS”) Group, Charlotte, North
Carolina, who supply professional services and public accounting
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 PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”), Internal
Firm Services (“IFS”) Group, Charlotte, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 26, 2009, 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 1st day of September, 2010.
