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 May 20, 2010, applicable to workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP , Division of Internal Firm Services,
Atlanta, Georgia. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on June 7, 2010 (75 FR 32224).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers supply internal firm services.
New information shows that the Department did not correctly
state the subject firm name in its entirety on the certification

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-73,630 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”),

Group, Atlanta, Georgia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March
2, 2009, through May 20, 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

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 4, 2010 on behalf of workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Division of Internal Firm Services,
Atlanta, Georgia. The workers are engaged in employment related
to the supply of internal firm services.
The investigation revealed that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Division of Internal Firm Services,
Atlanta, Georgia, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of internal firm services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion or
number of workers at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Division of
Internal Firm Services, Atlanta, Georgia have been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation, during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with those supplied by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
Division of Internal Firm Services, Atlanta, Georgia.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
internal firm services from Uruguay contributed importantly to
worker group separations at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Division
of Internal Firm Services, Atlanta, Georgia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, Division of Internal Firm Services, Atlanta, Georgia, who
are engaged in employment related to the supply of internal firm
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, Division of
Internal Firm Services, Atlanta, Georgia, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 2,
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.”
