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 30, 2010 by a company official of Maersk Agency
USA, Inc., Human Resources Department, a subsidiary of Maersk,
Inc., a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, Madison, New
Jersey. The workers provide human resources management and are
not separately identifiable by services.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all workers at the
subject firm have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted services like or directly competitive with those
provided by the subject firm to India and Denmark.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in service
by the subject firm to India and Denmark contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject firm.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maersk Agency USA,
Inc., Human Resources Department a subsidiary of Maersk, Inc., a
subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, Madison, New Jersey, who
are engaged in human resource management, 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 Maersk Agency USA, Inc., Human Resources
Department, a subsidiary of Maersk, Inc., a subsidiary of
A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, Madison, New Jersey, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 12, 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 April, 2010
