Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on November 23, 2010, applicable to
workers of Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, including workers whose
wages were reported under HomEQ Servicing, North Highland,
California. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
December 8, 2010 (75 FR 76488).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
supply loan servicing.
The Raleigh, North Carolina location operated in
conjunction with the North Highland, California location. Both
locations were part of the overall servicing operation and
served the same customer base of mortgage loans, and were
affected by the subject firm shifting loan services to a foreign
country.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Raleigh, North Carolina location of
Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, including workers whose wages were
reported under HomEQ Servicing.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,610 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, including
workers whose wages were reported under HomEQ Servicing,
North Highland, California (TA-W-74,610), and Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC, including workers whose wages were reported
under HomEQ Servicing, Raleigh, North Carolina (TA-W-
74,610A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 7, 2009, through November
23, 2012, 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.”

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 September 10, 2010 on behalf of workers of Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC, North Highlands, California. The workers
supply loan servicing. The worker group includes workers whose
wages were reported under HomEq Servicing, North Highlands,
California.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC, who are engaged in activities related to loan
servicing, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
by Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the North Highlands, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ocwen Loan Servicing,
LLC, North Highlands, California, who are engaged in activities
related to loan servicing, 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 Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, including
workers whose wages were reported under HomEq Servicing,
North Highlands, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
7, 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.”
