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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 9, 2009 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Computer Sciences Corporation, America's Outsourcing
- Freescale Account Unit, Managed Services Sector, Austin,
Texas (Computer Science Corporation). The workers provide
infrastructure management and desktop/network administration
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Computer
Sciences Corporation, Austin, Texas, who are engaged in
employment related to infrastructure management and
desktop/network administration services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers were separated from employment during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Computer Sciences
Corporation has shifted infrastructure management and
desktop/network administration services to India.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
infrastructure management and desktop/network administration
services to India by Computer Sciences Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Computer Sciences
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Computer Sciences
Corporation, Managed Services Sector, America's Outsourcing -
Freescale Account Unit, Austin, Texas, who are engaged in
employment related to infrastructure management and
desktop/network administration 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 Computer Sciences Corporation, Managed
Services Sector, America's Outsourcing - Freescale
Account Unit, Austin, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 22,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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 17th day of September, 2009.
