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 Missouri One-Stop Operator on
behalf of workers of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm
Services Division, Client Account Administrators, St. Louis,
Missouri. The workers provide administrative support services.
The investigation revealed that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Internal Firm Services Division,
Client Account Administrators, who are engaged in employment
related to administrative support services, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services contributed importantly to worker group separations
at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm Services
Division, Client Account Administrators.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm Services Division,
Client Account Administrators, St. Louis, Missouri, who are
engaged in employment related to administrative support
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 PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm
Services Division, Client Account Administrators, St.
Louis, Missouri, 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 14th day of March, 2011
