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 July 20, 2010 on behalf of workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Internal Firm Services Group,
Cleveland, Ohio (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP). Workers are
engaged in activities related to client account administration
services (i.e. internal administrative services). The workers are
not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Internal Firm Services Group,
Cleveland, Ohio who are engaged in activities related to client
account administration services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country client account administration
services during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of client
account administration services to Uruguay by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP contributed importantly to worker
group separations at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, Internal Firm Services Group, Cleveland, Ohio who are
engaged in activities related to client account administration
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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Internal Firm
Services Group, Cleveland, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 1st day of September, 2010.
