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 15, 2011 on behalf of workers of UDR, Inc.,
Accounting Department, UDR Eastern Division, Glen Allen,
Virginia (UDR Glen Allen). The workers are engaged in
activities related to accounts payable services.
The investigation revealed that workers of UDR Glen Allen
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
accounts payable services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with accounts payable services done by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
accounts payable services from India by UDR Glen Allen
contributed importantly to worker group separations at UDR
Glen Allen.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of UDR, Inc., Accounting
Department, UDR Eastern Division, Glen Allen, Virginia, who are
engaged in activities related to supply of accounts payable
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 UDR, Inc., Accounting Department, UDR
Eastern Division, Glen Allen, Virginia, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February
9, 2010, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 7th day of March, 2011
