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 March 14, 2016 by on behalf of workers of the Bank of
New York Mellon, a subsidiary of the Bank Of New York Mellon
Corporation, Information Technology department, including on-
site leased workers from Modis, Syracuse, New York. The
workers' firm is engaged in supply of financial and banking
services. The subject worker group is engaged in activities
related to the supply of information technology services,
specifically Asset Service Technology which focuses on
technology applications for investment accounting services.
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 the Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of the
Bank Of New York Mellon Corporation, Information Technology
department, Syracuse, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Bank of New York
Mellon, a subsidiary of the Bank Of New York Mellon
Corporation, Information Technology department, including on-
site leased workers from Modis, Syracuse, New York, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology 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 the Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary
of the Bank Of New York Mellon Corporation, Information
Technology department, including on-site leased workers
from Modis, Syracuse, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 5,
2015 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 May 2016.
