Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on May 11, 2010, applicable to workers of Hewlett
Packard Company, Imaging and Printing Group, World Wide Products
Data Management Operations, Boise, Idaho and Fort Collins,
Colorado. The workers developed, prototyped and tested hardware,
firmware, and software. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 30067).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from Manpower Professional, now known
as Experis, were employed on-site at the Boise, Idaho location of
Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing Group, World Wide
Product Data Management Operations. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing Group, World
Wide Product Data Management Operations to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Manpower
Professional, now known as Experis, working on-site at the Boise,
Idaho location of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing
Group, World Wide Product Data Management Operations.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,450 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and
Printing Group, World Wide Product Data Management
Operations, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower Professional, now known as Experis, Boise,
Idaho (TA-W-71,450), and Hewlett Packard Company,
Imaging and Printing Group, World Wide Product Data
Management Operations, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-
71,450A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 24, 2008, through May
11, 2012, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date
of certification through May 11, 2012, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

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 29, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing Group, World
Wide Product Data Management Operations, Boise, Idaho (TA-W-
71,450) and Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-71,450A). The workers
developed, prototyped, and tested hardware, firmware, and
software.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
workers were separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the Boise,
Idaho and Fort Collins, Colorado facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Imaging and Printing Group, World Wide Product Data
Management Operations, Boise, Idaho (TA-W-71,450) and Fort
Collins, Colorado (TA-W-71,450A), who are engaged in employment
related to developing, prototyping, and testing of hardware,
firmware, and software 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 Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and
Printing Group, World Wide Product Data Management
Operations, Boise, Idaho (TA-W-71,450) and Fort Collins,
Colorado (TA-W-71,450A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 24, 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.”
