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 December 6, 2013 on behalf of workers of BNY Mellon,
Client Accounting and Reporting Services, Brooklyn, New York.
The worker group is engaged in accounting services.
Workers of The Bank of New York Mellon, Asset Servicing
Global Operations, Income Collections Department, Brooklyn, New
York are certified under TA-W-82,037, which expires on November
2, 2014. Workers of The Bank of New York Mellon, Billing and
Revenue Operations, Brooklyn, New York are certified under TA-W-
81,832, which expires on August 14, 2014. Workers in Client
Accounting and Reporting Services certified under this petition
are separately identifiable.
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 services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at BNY Mellon, Client Accounting and Reporting
Services, Brooklyn, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BNY Mellon, Client
Accounting, and Reporting Services, Brooklyn, New York, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of accounting
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 BNY Mellon, Client Accounting and
Reporting Services, Brooklyn, New York, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December
1, 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 14th day of February, 2014.
