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 19, 2017 on behalf of workers of St. Vincent
Health, Transcription Department, a subsidiary Of Ascension
Health, Indianapolis, Indiana (St. Vincent Health-
Transcription Department). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of medical transcription
services. The subject worker group (St. Vincent Health-
Transcription Department) does not include on-site leased
workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in St. Vincent Health-
Transcription Department 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 services like or
directly competitive with the medical transcription services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at St. Vincent Health-Transcription
Department.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of St. Vincent Health,
Transcription Department, Indianapolis, Indiana, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of medical
transcription 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 St. Vincent Health, Transcription
Department, a subsidiary Of Ascension Health,
Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 18, 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 12th day of August 2017.
