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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 26, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Business Technology Services, Inc. d.b.a BizTech,
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The workers supply consulting
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Business
Technology Services, Inc. d.b.a BizTech, King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania who are engaged in employment related to consulting
services meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
consulting services supplied by Business Technology Services,
Inc. d.b.a BizTech, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania have decreased
absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by Business Technology Services, Inc. d.b.a
BizTech, have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of services by customers of Business
Technology Services, Inc. d.b.a BizTech, King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at the firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Business Technology
Services, Inc. d.b.a BizTech, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, who
are engaged in employment related to consulting 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 Business Technology Services, Inc. d.b.a
BizTech, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 16,
2008, 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 16th day of February, 2010
