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 June 13, 2017 by a state workforce official on behalf of
the workers of Carlisle Etcetera LLC, Accounting Department, a
subsidiary of Royal Spirit Limited, New York, New York
(Carlisle-Accounting). Workers of Carlisle-Accounting are engaged
in activities related to the supply of accounting services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Carlisle-Accounting 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 accounting services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Carlisle-Accounting.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Carlisle-Accounting, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of accounting
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 Carlisle Etcetera LLC, Accounting
Department, a subsidiary of Royal Spirit Limited, New York,
New York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 12, 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 7th day of July 2017.
