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 29, 2010 on behalf of workers of ChoicePoint, A
LexisNexis Company, Brea, California (ChoicePoint). The
workers are engaged in activities related to verification call,
data entry, customer service, medical review officer and
criminal record retrieval services. The workers are separately
identifiable by service provided. The group also includes on-
site leased workers from Global Contact Services (GCS) and
Talent Tree Remedy Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of ChoicePoint who
are engaged in activities related to verification call, data
entry, customer service, medical review officer and criminal
record retrieval services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at ChoicePoint have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by ChoicePoint to a foreign country in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
verification call, data entry, customer service, medical
review officer and criminal record retrieval services to the
Philippines and India by ChoicePoint contributed importantly
to worker group separations at ChoicePoint.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ChoicePoint, A
LexisNexis Company, including on-site leased workers from
Global Contact Services (GCS) and Talent Tree Remedy Staffing,
Brea, California, who are engaged in activities related to
verification call, data entry, customer service, medical
review officer and criminal record retrieval 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 ChoicePoint, A LexisNexis Company,
including on-site leased workers from Global Contact
Services (GCS) and Talent Tree Remedy Staffing, Brea,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 26, 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 28th day of June, 2010.
