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 September 25, 2019, by a company official on behalf of
workers U.S. Bank, National Association, Consumer & Business
Banking Operations Unit, Foreclosure, Escrow Administration
and Research, Quality Management, and Recovery-Loss Prevention
Divisions, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp,
Owensboro, Kentucky (U.S. Bank, CBBO-Foreclosure, Escrow
Administration and Research, Quality Management, and Recovery-
Loss Prevention Divisions). The subject workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of foreclosure, loan
maintenance, borrower responses, reviewing and auditing,
maintaining and preserving assets, and maximizing recovery
services. Workers are separately identifiable by services
supplied by each Division. The worker groups do not include on-
site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in U.S. Bank, CBBO-
Foreclosure, Escrow Administration and Research, Quality
Management, and Recovery-Loss Prevention Divisions 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 those supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at U.S. Bank, CBBO-Foreclosure, Escrow
Administration and Research, Quality Management, and Recovery-
Loss Prevention Divisions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of U.S. Bank, CBBO-
Foreclosure, Escrow Administration and Research, Quality
Management, and Recovery-Loss Prevention Divisions, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of foreclosure, loan
maintenance, borrower responses, reviewing and auditing,
maintaining and preserving assets, and maximizing recovery
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 U.S. Bank, National Association, Consumer
& Business Banking Operations Unit, Foreclosure, Escrow
Administration and Research, Quality Management, and
Recovery-Loss Prevention Divisions, a wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Owensboro, Kentucky, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 23, 2018, 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 29th day of October 2019.
