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 January 18, 2017, on behalf of workers of Ocwen
Financial Corporation, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
Ocwen Loan Servicing (OLS), Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
(Ocwen Financial Corporation). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of mortgage loan servicing and
support services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
Vendor Management Services (KVMS).
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 Ocwen Financial
Corporation 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 services
like or directly competitive with the mortgage loan servicing
and support services supplied by the subject workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Ocwen
Financial Corporation.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ocwen Financial
Corporation, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of mortgage loan servicing and 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 Ocwen Financial Corporation, a wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of Ocwen Loan Servicing (OLS),
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Vendor
Management Services (KVMS), Fort Washington,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 17, 2016 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 10th day of March 2017.
