Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on February 20, 2016, applicable to
workers of LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology Services, San
Diego, California (TA-W-91,070); LPL Financial LLC, Business
Technology Services, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-91,070A);
and LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology Services, Boston,
Massachusetts (TA-W-91,070B). The Department’s notice of
determination was published in the Federal Register on March 24,
2016 (Vol. 81 FR 15747).
At the request of a state workforce office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in activities related to the supply of
financial services.
The company reports that workers leased from Insight
Global, LLC, Sogeti, and SPS Providea were employed on-site at
the San Diego, California location of LPL Financial LLC,
Business Technology Services (TA-W-91,070). The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification (TA-W-91,070) to include workers leased from
Insight Global, LLC, Sogeti, and SPS Providea working on-site at
the San Diego, California location of LPL Financial LLC,
Business Technology Services.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-91,070 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of LPL Financial LLC, Business
Technology Services, including on-site leased workers
from Insight Global, LLC, Sogeti, and SPS Providea,
San Diego, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 22,
2014, through February 20, 2018, 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 June, 2016.

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 by three workers on behalf of workers
of LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology Services, San Diego,
California (TA-W-91,070); LPL Financial LLC, Business
Technology Services, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-91,070A);
and LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology Services, Boston,
Massachusetts (TA-W-91,070B). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial services. The
subject worker group includes employees in the Business
Technology Services unit of LPL Financial LLC.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 LPL Financial LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LPL Financial LLC,
Business Technology Services, San Diego, California (TA-W-
91,070); LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology Services,
Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-91,070A); and LPL Financial
LLC, Business Technology Services, Boston, Massachusetts (TA-
W-91,070B), who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of financial 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 LPL Financial LLC, Business Technology
Services, San Diego, California (TA-W-91,070); LPL
Financial LLC, Business Technology Services, Charlotte,
North Carolina (TA-W-91,070A); and LPL Financial LLC,
Business Technology Services, Boston, Massachusetts (TA-
W-91,070B), 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."
