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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 26, 2010 on behalf of workers of John C.
Lincoln Health Network, Medical Transcription Department,
Phoenix, Arizona (subject firm). The workers supply medical
record transcription services.
The investigation revealed that workers of this worker
group meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at the subject firm have been
totally or partially separated or threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production at the subject firm have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
services like or directly competitive with medical
transcription services supplied by the subject firm have
increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of medical transcription services
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at the subject firm.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of John C. Lincoln
Health Network, Medical Transcription Department, Phoenix,
Arizona, who are engaged in employment related to the supply of
medical records transcription 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 John C. Lincoln Health Network, Medical
Transcription Department, Phoenix, Arizona,, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 6, 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 March, 2011
