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 July 7, 2017, by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of Nebraska Land Title and Abstract Company (NLTA), a
subsidiary of CBSHOME Real Estate Company, Omaha, Nebraska
(Nebraska Land Title and Abstract Company). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of title insurance,
abstract, and escrow services. The worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
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 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the title insurance, abstract,
and escrow services supplied by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Nebraska Land Title
and Abstract Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nebraska Land Title
and Abstract Company, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of title insurance, abstract, and escrow 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 Nebraska Land Title and Abstract Company
(NLTA), a subsidiary of CBSHOME Real Estate Company, Omaha,
Nebraska who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 6, 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 18th day of July 2017.
