Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on June 12, 2012, applicable to workers of
AISS/Sterling Infosystems, a subsidiary of Sterling Infosystem,
Inc., Independence, Ohio (TA-W-81,652) and AISS/Sterling
Infosystems, a subsidiary of Sterling Infosystem, Inc., Fairlawn,
Ohio (TA-W-81,652A). The Department’s notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2012 (Vol. 77,
No. 125 FR 38666).
At the request of a State Workforce Official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
background screening services.
The state workforce official reports that the worker group was
located among two locations. One of those locations was not
previously identified in the certification (TA-W-81,652). In order
to properly capture the entirety of the worker group, the
certification is being amended.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,652 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of AISS/Sterling Infosystems, a subsidiary
of Sterling Infosystem, Inc., Independence, Ohio (TA-W-
81,652) and AISS/Sterling Infosystems, a subsidiary of
Sterling Infosystem, Inc., Fairlawn, Ohio (TA-W-

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 13th day of July, 2012.

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 May 23, 2012 on behalf of workers of AISS/Sterling
Infosystems, a subsidiary of Sterling Infosystems, Inc.,
Independence, Ohio. The worker group is engaged in activities
related to the supply of background screening services. The worker
group does not include on-site leased workers.
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 background screening
services like or directly competitive with the background screening
services supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at AISS/Sterling.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AISS/Sterling
Infosystems, a subsidiary of Sterling Infosystems, Inc.,
Independence, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of background screening 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 AISS/Sterling Infosystems, a subsidiary of
Sterling Infosystems, Inc., Independence, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
22, 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.”
