Notice of Revised Determination
After Statutory Reconsideration

As required by the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act of
2015 (TAARA 2015), which was enacted as Title IV of the Trade
Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law No. 114-27, section
405(a)(1)(A), the investigation into this petition was reopened for a
reconsideration investigation to apply the requirements for worker
group eligibility under chapter 2 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended by the TAARA 2015, to the facts of this petition (statutory
reconsideration).
The initial investigation, initiated December 22, 2014, resulted
in a negative determination, issued on February 3, 2015, that was based
on the firm not producing an article. The determination was applicable
to workers and former workers of Kroll Factual Data, Inc., a subsidiary
of Kroll Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Aerotek,
and Appleone, Loveland, Colorado. The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of credit risk mitigation and third party
verification services.
Based on information reviewed during the reconsideration investigation,
the Department of Labor determines that an acquisition of services from a
foreign country contributed importantly to worker separations.
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 (successor)
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly competitive
with services supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Kroll Factual Data, Inc., a subsidiary of Kroll Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Aerotek, and Appleone,
Loveland, Colorado.

Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that workers of Kroll Factual Data, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Kroll Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Aerotek, and Appleone, Loveland, Colorado, who are engaged in activities
related to supply of credit risk mitigation and third party verification
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 Kroll Factual Data, Inc., a subsidiary of Kroll Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Aerotek, and Appleone,
Loveland, Colorado who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after December 19, 2013, 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.”

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade 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.
Workers of a firm may be eligible for worker adjustment
assistance if they satisfy the criteria of subsection (a) and (b)
of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a) and (b). For the
Department of Labor to issue a certification for workers under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), the following three
criteria must be met:
(1) The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm, or
an appropriate subdivision of the firm, have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated
(2) The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied in one of two
ways:
(A) Increased Imports Path:
(i) sales or production, or both, at the workers' firm must
have decreased absolutely, AND
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and
(iii) the increase 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 or subdivision.

(B) Shift in Production Path:
(i) there has been a shift in production by such workers'
firm or subdivision to a foreign country of articles like
or directly competitive with articles which are produced
by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II)the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
country under the Andean Trade Preference Act, African
Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act; or
(III)there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision.

For the Department to issue a secondary worker certification
under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), to workers of
a Supplier or a Downstream Producer, the following criteria must be
met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production
is related to the article that was the basis for such
certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
terms "Supplier" and "Downstream Producer."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 22, 2014 on behalf of workers of Kroll Factual
Data, Inc., a subsidiary of Kroll Inc., Loveland, Colorado. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
credit risk mitigation and third party verification services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from from
Manpower, Aerotek and Appleone.
The investigation revealed that of Kroll Factual Data, Inc.,
Loveland, Colorado does not produce an article within the meaning
of Section 222(a) or Section 222(b) of the Act. In order to be
considered eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker group seeking
certification must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article. The definition of a firm includes an
individual proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, association,
corporation (including a development corporation), business trust,
cooperative, trustee in bankruptcy, and receiver under decree of
any court.
During the investigation, the Department of Labor obtained
information that revealed that the workers' firm did not produce an
article; rather, the workers' firm supplied credit risk mitigation
and third party verification services.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA), the worker group must be certified eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). Since the workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified
eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Kroll Factual Data,
Inc., a subsidiary of Kroll Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Aerotek and Appleone, Loveland, Colorado
engaged in activities related to the supply of credit risk
mitigation and third party verification services are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of February, 2015.
