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 27, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of Transamerica Life Insurance Company, Enterprise
Business Services, including on-site leased workers from
Computer Sciences Corporation, WNS North America, Inc., Tata
America International Corp., Tata Consultancy Services, and
Syntel, Inc., Los Angeles, California (herein known as
"Transamerica Life Insurance Company"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of finance,
accounting, procurement, project management, and IT services
to Transamerica Life Insurance Company and its affiliates.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Transamerica Life Insurance Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Transamerica Life
Insurance Company, Enterprise Business Services, including on-
site leased workers from Computer Sciences Corporation, WNS
North America, Inc., Tata America International Corp., Tata
Consultancy Services, and Syntel, Inc., Los Angeles,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of finance, accounting, procurement, project management, and
IT services to Transamerica Life Insurance Company and its
affiliates 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 Transamerica Life Insurance Company,
Enterprise Business Services, including on-site leased
workers from Computer Sciences Corporation, WNS North
America, Inc., Tata America International Corp., Tata
Consultancy Services, and Syntel, Inc., Los Angeles,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 1, 2014, 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 13th day of November 2015.
