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 November 23, 2010 on behalf of workers of Thomson
Reuters (Tax & Accounting), Inc., Professional Division,
Business Compliance & Knowledge Solutions Unit, Rochester, New
York (Thomson Reuters). The workers are engaged in activities
related the supply of data management and systems services.
The workers are not separately identifiable by service
supplied.
The investigation revealed that workers of Thomson Reuters,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of data
management and systems services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Thomson Reuters have become totally
or partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
by Thomson Reuters to a foreign country in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of data
management and systems to India contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Thomson Reuters.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Thomson Reuters (Tax
& Accounting), Inc., Professional Division, Business Compliance
& Knowledge Solutions Unit, Rochester, New York, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of data management and
systems 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 Thomson Reuters (Tax & Accounting), Inc.,
Professional Division, Business Compliance & Knowledge
Solutions Unit, Rochester, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
22, 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."
