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. (Set forth in 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 20, 2010 on behalf of workers of Citicorp
Credit Services, Inc. (USA), Citigroup Management Corporation, a
subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., Finance Reconciliation Group,
Irving, Texas. The workers provide a range of financial
services. Workers in the Finance Reconciliation Group are
separately identifiable from other worker groups in the workers'
firm.
The investigation revealed that workers in the Finance
Reconciliation Group, who are engaged in activities related to
financial services, meet the criteria for certification. The
certification does not include workers in other subdivisions of
Citigroup Management Corporation, whose separations are not
attributable to the shift of services that affected the Finance
Reconciliation Group.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country financial services like or
directly competitive with financial services supplied by the
Finance Reconciliation Group.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
financial services by Citicorp contributed importantly to
worker group separations in the Finance Reconciliation Group,
Irving, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Citicorp Credit
Services, Inc. (USA), Citigroup Management Corporation, a
subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., Finance Reconciliation Group,
Irving, Texas, who are engaged in employment related to
financial 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),
Citigroup Management Corporation, a subsidiary of
Citigroup, Inc., Finance Reconciliation Group, Irving,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 17, 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 16th day of December, 2010
