Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
Alternative Trade 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.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 22, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Accenture, LLP at the following locations: BellSouth
Center, 675 W. Peachtree Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-58,875);
Inforum Building, 250 Williams Street, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-
58,875A); Peachtree Corners #7, 5804 Peachtree Corners East,
Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-58,875B); Peachtree Corners #10, 5854
Peachtree Corners East, Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-58,875C); Peachtree
Corners #11, 5923 Peachtree Corners East, Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-
58,875D); Colonnade, 3535 Colonnade, Birmingham, Alabama (TA-W-
58,875E); Data Center, 1876 Data Drive, Birmingham, Alabama (TA-W-
58,875F). The workers produce software products.
The investigation revealed that a shift in production of
software products from the subject plant to a foreign country
(India) occurred during the period of investigation, and layoffs at
the subject firm resulted from this shift in production. The
investigation further revealed that company imports have increased.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

The Department has determined that criteria 2 and 3 have not
been met.
The investigation revealed that workers have skills that are
easily transferable and conditions within the industry are not
adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that that there was a shift in
production from the subject firm to India of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by Accenture, LLP, and
there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of like or
directly competitive articles. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Accenture, LLP, at BellSouth Center, Atlanta,
Georgia (TA-W-58,875); Inforum Building, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-
W-58,875A); Peachtree Corners #7, Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-
58,875B); Peachtree Corners #10, Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-
58,875C); Peachtree Corners #11, Norcross, Georgia (TA-W-
58,875D); Colonnade, Birmingham, Alabama (TA-W-58,875E); and
Data Center, Birmingham, Alabama (TA-W-58,875F), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 9, 2005 through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
I further determine that all workers of the above named
facilities are denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
