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 16, 2010 on behalf of workers of Core 3, Inc.,
Profitkeeper, Mesa, Arizona (Core 3 Mesa). The workers are
engaged in activities related to accounting and payroll services
with a web-based interface.
The investigation revealed that workers of Core 3 Mesa who
are engaged in employment related to accounting and payroll
services with a web-based interface meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles or services like or
directly competitive with accounting and payroll services with a
web-based interface done by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
accounting and payroll services with a web-based interface from
India by Core 3 Mesa contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Core 3 Mesa.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Core 3, Inc.,
Profitkeeper, Mesa, Arizona, who are engaged in employment related
to accounting and payroll services with a web-based interface 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 Core 3, Inc., Profitkeeper, Mesa, Arizona,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 14, 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."
