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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 1, 2010 on behalf of workers of American General-
AIG, Life Brokerage, a subsidiary of American International
Group, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The workers are engaged in
activities related to business administration, which includes
marketing, sales, legal, compliance, finance, and communication.
The investigation revealed that workers of American
General-AIG, Life Brokerage, a subsidiary of American
International Group, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, who are engaged in
employment related to business administration, meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers at the subject firm have been separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of American
General-AIG subject firm supplied services directly to a firm
with a certified Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) worker
group, and the services supplied were related to the supply of
the service that was the basis for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by American General-AIG with the TAA-certified firm, with
respect to business administration services provided to the
TAA certified firm, contributed importantly to worker
separations at American General-AIG.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American General-AIG,
Life Brokerage, a subsidiary of American International Group,
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to
business administration, meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:





"All workers of American General-AIG, Life Brokerage, a
subsidiary of American International Group, Wauwatosa,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 27, 2009, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 20th day of August, 2010
