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 June 9, 2010 by an Arizona state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Citicorp Credit Services, Inc. (USA), Risk
and Fraud Operations Division, a subsidiary of Citigroup,
Inc., Tucson, Arizona. The workers provide risk and fraud
operations support services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Citicorp Credit
Services, who are engaged in employment related to risk and
fraud operations support services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers are threatened with separation during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from a foreign country contributed importantly to
worker group separations in the Risk and Fraud Operations
Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Citicorp Credit
Services, Inc. (USA), Risk and Fraud Operations Division, a
subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., Tucson, Arizona, who are engaged
in employment related to risk and fraud operations support
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 Citicorp Credit Services, Inc. (USA), a
subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., Risk and Fraud Operations
Division, Tucson, Arizona, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 1, 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 2nd day of August, 2010
