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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 25, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
Maersk Agency USA Inc, a subsidiary of A.P. Moller, Customer
Service Division, The Woodlands, Texas, Miami, Florida and
Charlotte, North Carolina. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of container shipments. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
container shipments. The subject worker group also includes on-
site leased workers from Tempfinders Personnel and Rexx, as well
as remote workers reporting to The Woodlands, Texas location.
The worker group provides customer service to the firm's
corporate clients (Maersk).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Maersk.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maersk Agency USA
Inc, a subsidiary of A.P. Moller, Customer Service Division,
including remote workers reporting to The Woodlands, Texas,
Miami, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina, Miami, Florida,
and Charlotte, North Carolina, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of customer service for container shipping
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(a) 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 Maersk Agency USA Inc, a subsidiary of A.P.
Moller, Customer Service Division, including on-site leased
workers from Tempfinders Personnel and remote workers
reporting to this location, The Woodlands, Texas (TA-W-

Moller, Customer Service Division, Miami, Florida, (TA-W-
81,012A) and Maersk Agency USA Inc, a subsidiary of A.P.
Moller, Customer Service Division, including on-site leased
workers from Rexx, Charlotte, North Carolina, (TA-W-
81,012B) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2010, through, two
years from the date of certification, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on December 20, 2011 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."
