Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on March 26, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Computer Sciences
Corporation, Technology Management Group, Nortel Networks Account,
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The workers performed
"Unix" based server support services, managing and operating all
aspects of information technology.
The investigation revealed that Computer Sciences Corporation,
Technology Management Group, Nortel Networks Account, Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina does not produce an article within
the meaning of Section 222 (a)(2) of the Act. In order to be
considered eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker group seeking
certification (or on whose behalf certification is being sought)
must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision that produces an
article and there must be a relationship between the workers' work
and the article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate
subdivision. Workers of the Technology Management Group described
above do not support a firm or appropriate subdivision that
produces an article domestically and thus the worker group can not
be considered import impacted or affected by a shift in production
of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Computer
Sciences Corporation, Technology Management Group, Nortel Networks
Account, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C., this 10th day of May, 2004.
