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 February 19, 2013 on behalf of workers of Motorola
Mobility, Inc., The Credit Management Department, a subsidiary
of Google Inc., Libertyville, Illinois (TA-W-82,477) and
Motorola Mobility, Inc., The Credit Management Department, a
subsidiary of Google Inc., Plantation, Florida (TA-W-82,477A)
(Motorola Mobility). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of credit management services
including credit risk assessment, collections, and cash
posting.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Motorola Mobility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Motorola Mobility,
Inc., The Credit Management Department, a subsidiary of Google
Inc., Libertyville, Illinois (TA-W-82,477) and Motorola
Mobility, Inc., The Credit Management Department, a subsidiary
of Google Inc., Plantation, Florida (TA-W-82,477A), who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of credit
management services including credit risk assessment,
collections, and cash posting 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 Motorola Mobility, Inc., The Credit
Management Department, a subsidiary of Google Inc.,
Libertyville, Illinois (TA-W-82,477) and Motorola
Mobility, Inc., The Credit Management Department, a
subsidiary of Google Inc., Plantation, Florida (TA-W-
82,477A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 14, 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 20th day of March, 2013.
