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 April 14, 2010 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of DAMCO USA, Inc., Finance Division, Madison, New
Jersey (DAMCO). The workers supply finance and accounting
services to the transpiration logistics industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of DAMCO, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of finance and
accounting services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at DAMCO have become totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because DAMCO has shifted to
India the supply of services like or directly competitive with
the finance and accounting services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of finance
and accounting services to India 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 DAMCO USA, Inc.,
Finance Division, Madison, New Jersey, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of finance and 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 DAMCO USA, Inc., Finance Division,
Madison, New Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 13, 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."
