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 February 9, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of CompuCredit Holdings Corporation, Credit Cards-
Collections Division, Atlanta, Georgia (CompuCredit Atlanta).
The workers are engaged in activities related to credit card
collections services. The worker group, CompuCredit Atlanta,
includes on-site leased workers from Axiom Staffing and Resource
Mosaic.
The investigation revealed that workers of CompuCredit
Atlanta, who are engaged in employment related to credit card
collections services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have become totally or partially separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift of credit card collections services by CompuCredit Atlanta
to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
CompuCredit Atlanta.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CompuCredit Holdings
Corporation, Credit Cards- Collections Division, including on-
site leased workers from Axiom Staffing and Resource Mosaic,
Atlanta, Georgia, who are engaged in employment related to
credit card collections 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 CompuCredit Holdings Corporation, Credit
Cards- Collections Division, including on-site leased
workers from Axiom Staffing and Resource Mosaic, Atlanta,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 8, 2010, 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 23rd day of February, 2011
