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 March 3, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Experian, Global Technology Services Division, Allen,
Texas (Experian Allen). The workers are engaged in activities
related to credit reporting services. The workers are not
separately identifiable by services.
The worker group also includes on-site leased workers from
TAPFIN.
The investigation revealed that workers of Experian Allen
who are engaged in activities related to credit reporting
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the workers' firm have become totally
or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in credit reporting services by Experian Allen to Chile
and Costa Rica.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in credit
reporting services by Experian Allen to Chile and Costa Rica
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Experian
Allen.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Experian, Global
Technology Services Division, including on-site leased workers
from TAPFIN, Allen, Texas, who are engaged in employment related
to credit reporting 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
Division, including on-site leased workers from TAPFIN,
Allen, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 1, 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 19th day of May, 2010
