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. (Set forth in 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 August 3, 2009 on behalf of workers of Open Solutions
Inc., a subsidiary of Harpoon Acquisition Corporation, Murrieta,
California (Open Solutions Inc.). The workers are engaged in
activities related to data entry processing services of
physical and electronic check items. The workers are not
separately identifiable by services.
The worker group also includes on-site leased workers from
AppleOne and Banc Force.
The investigation revealed that workers of Open Solutions
Inc. who are engaged in activities related to data entry
processing services of physical and electronic check items
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in data entry processing services of physical and
electronic check items by Open Solutions Inc. to India.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in data entry
processing services of physical and electronic check items by
Open Solutions Inc. to India contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Open Solutions Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Open Solutions Inc.,
a subsidiary of Harpoon Acquisition Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from AppleOne and Banc Force, Murrieta,
California, who are engaged in employment related to data entry
processing services of physical and electronic check items,
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 Open Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of
Harpoon Acquisition Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from AppleOne and Banc Force, Murrieta, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 3, 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 28th day of October, 2009
