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 May 9, 2013, applicable to workers of
First Advantage Corporation, St. Petersburg, Florida. The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the
Federal Register on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32464).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in talent acquisition services.
The company official reports that workers in Charlotte,
North Carolina; Bolingbrook, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and
Alpharetta, Georgia have been separated or are threatened with
separation due to the same shift of services to a foreign
country that has contributed importantly to separations in St.
Petersburg, Florida. The worker group includes workers tele-
working from their homes reporting to these locations.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,455 is hereby
issued as follows:



“All workers of First Advantage Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Tapfin, Staffworks, Aerotek Professional
Services, Randstad, Insight Global, LLC, and RemX Specialty
Staffing, St. Petersburg, Florida (TA-W-82,455), Charlotte,
North Carolina (TA-W-82,455A), Bolingbrook, Illinois (TA-W-
82,455B), Dallas, Texas (TA-W-82,455C), and Alpharetta,
Georgia (TA-W-82,455D), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 11, 2012
through May 9, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on the date
of certification through May 9, 2015 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 5th day of November, 2013.

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 13, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of First Advantage Corporation, St. Petersburg, Florida.
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
talent acquisition services. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Tapfin, Staffworks, Aerotek Professional
Services, Randstad, Insight Global, LLC, and RemX Specialty
Staffing.
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 services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
First Advantage Corporation, St. Petersburg, Florida.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of First Advantage
Corporation, St. Petersburg, Florida, who are engaged in activities
related to talent acquisition 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 First Advantage Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Tapfin, Staffworks, Aerotek Professional
Services, Randstad, Insight Global, LLC, and RemX Specialty
Staffing, St. Petersburg, Florida, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 11,
2012 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 9th day of May, 2013.
