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 November 3, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Willis Lease Finance Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek Recruiting & Staff, Robert Half
International, Accounting Principals, and Bolt Staffing, Novato,
California ("Willis Lease Finance Corporation"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of leasing
services of large and regional spare commercial aircraft
engines, APUs and aircraft to airlines, aircraft engine
manufactures, and maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities
worldwide, and aircraft trading, and engine lease pools.
However, the worker group, the subject of the investigation, is
specifically engaged in activities related to the supply of
records auditing services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 Willis Lease Finance Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Willis Lease Finance
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek
Recruiting & Staff, Robert Half International, Accounting
Principals, and Bolt Staffing, Novato, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of record auditing
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 Willis Lease Finance Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek Recruiting & Staff,
Robert Half International, Accounting Principals, and Bolt
Staffing, Novato, California, engaged in activities related
to the supply of record auditing services, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 2, 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 15th day of November 2017.
