In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of
Labor (“Department”) issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November 19, 2010,
applicable to workers of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services

supplies real estate valuation services for the subject firm.

affected by a shift in services to India that were separated on
or after May 27, 2008 through November 19, 2012.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,696 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP,
Real Estate Consulting, Houston, Texas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after May 27,

employment on date of certification through two years from
the date of certification, are eligible to apply for

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 11, 2010, by a Texas Workforce Representative on
behalf of workers of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP,
Real Estate Consulting, Houston, Texas. The workers supply real
estate valuation services for the firm.
The investigation revealed that workers of Deloitte
Financial Advisory Services LLP, Real Estate Consulting,
Houston, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to real
estate valuation services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become separated or are threatened to
become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of real
estate valuation services by Deloitte Financial Advisory
Services LLP, Real Estate Consulting, contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Houston, Texas site.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Deloitte Financial
Advisory Services LLP, Real Estate Consulting, Houston, Texas,
who are engaged in activities related to real estate valuation
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 Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP,
Real Estate Consulting, Houston, Texas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after May 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 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.”
