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 11, 2005, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of ACS Commercial
Solutions, Inc., a division of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.,
Florence, South Carolina. The workers perform information
technology services.
The investigation revealed that ACS, Florence, South
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. The
information technologies workers do not support a firm or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article 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 ACS
Commercial Solutions, Inc., a division of Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc., Florence, South Carolina are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 28th day of March 2005.
