PROMETRIC, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF EDUCATIONAL TESTING SERVICE
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM OFFICE TEAM
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA


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 October 1, 2012, applicable to workers
and former workers of Prometric, Inc., a subsidiary of
Educational Test Service, St. Paul, Minnesota (subject firm).
The Department’s notice of determination was published in the
Federal Register on October 19, 2012 (77 FR 64357). The workers
were engaged in educational support services. The certification
did not include any leased workers.
At the request of a state workforce official, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm.
The company reports that workers leased from Office Team
were employed on-site at the St. Paul, Minnesota location of the
subject firm. The Department has determined that these workers
were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Office Team working
on-site at the St. Paul, Minnesota location of Prometric, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Educational Test Service.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,919 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Prometric, Inc., a subsidiary of
Educational Test Service, include on-site leased
workers of Office Team, St. Paul, Minnesota, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 23, 2011, through October 1, 2014,
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.”

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 August 24, 2012 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Prometric, Inc., a subsidiary of Educational Test
Service, St. Paul, Minnesota (Subject Firm). The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of test development
services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm via telephone, electronic mail,
and a business data request.
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(n) service like or
directly competitive with the test development service supplied by
the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Prometric, Inc., a
subsidiary of Educational Test Service, St. Paul, Minnesota, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of test
development 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 Prometric, Inc., a subsidiary of Educational
Test Service, St. Paul, Minnesota, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 23,
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.”
