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 April 6, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of First Advantage, Select Business Services, St.
Petersburg, Florida. The workers unemployment insurance was
also reported through AccuFacts Pre Employment Screening Inc.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
verification of employment, education records, and references.
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
that is like or directly competitive with the service supplied
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at First Advantage, Select Business Services, St.
Petersburg, Florida.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of First Advantage,
Select Business Services, St. Petersburg, Florida, who are
engaged in activities related to the verification of
employment, education records, and references 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 First Advantage, Select Business
Services, including workers whose unemployment insurance
(UI) wages were reported through AccuFacts Pre Employment
Screeing Inc, St. Petersburg, Florida, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April
2, 2011 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 May, 2012.
