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 June 14, 2012 on behalf of workers of Crawford and
Company, ICT-Infrastructure Division, Database Administration
Branch, Atlanta, Georgia (Crawford-ICT-Database Administration
Branch). The subject worker group is engaged in activities
related to the supply of database administration services.
The subject worker group does include remote workers in
Lake Zurich, Illinois reporting to Atlanta, Georgia but does
not include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Crawford-ICT-Database
Administration Branch 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 services
like or directly competitive with the database administration
services supplied by the workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Crawford-ICT-
Database Administration Branch.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Crawford and
Company, ICT-Infrastructure Division, Database Administration
Branch, Atlanta, Georgia, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of database administration 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 Crawford and Company, ICT-Infrastructure
Division, Database Administration Branch, including
remote workers in Lake Zurich, Illinois, Atlanta,
Georgia, who are totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 4, 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."
