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 July 12, 2012 on behalf of workers of Adams
Globalization, a division of Transperfect Translations, IDTP
Department, Austin, Texas (Adams Globalization). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
language services. Specifically, the workers translate desktop
publications in a PDF file from English to other languages.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 activities related
to the supply of a service like or directly competitive with
the services supplied by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Adams
Globalization.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Adams
Globalization, a division of Transperfect Translations, IDTP
Department, Austin, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of language services, specifically
translation desktop publications in a PDF file from English to
other languages, 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 Adams Globalization, a division of
Transperfect Translations, IDTP Department, Austin,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 9, 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 20th day of July, 2012.
