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 October 23, 2015 on behalf of workers of SuperValu
Inc., Finance Shared Service Division, Boise, Idaho.
(SuperValu-Finance Shared Service Division). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of retail grocery
store operations and grocery distribution. Workers of
SuperValu-Finance Shared Service are engaged in activities
related to the supply of financial services and accounting
support services. The subject worker group (SuperValu-Finance
Shared Service) does not include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in SuperValu-Finance Shared
Service 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 the services supplied by the workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
SuperValu-Finance Shared Service.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SuperValu-Finance
Shared Service, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of financial services and account support 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 SuperValu, Inc., Finance Shared Service
Division, Boise, Idaho, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 22, 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 2nd day of May 2016.
