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 January 29, 2010, applicable to workers
of the subject firm. The Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2010 (75 FR
10321). The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of computer equipment, such as workstations, servers,
and other peripheral equipment.
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The petitioner provided sufficient information for the
Department to determine that the appropriate subdivision of the
subject firm covered by the immediate certification included an
auxiliary facility located in Austin, Texas (Parmer North One).
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers at Parmer North One who are
impacted by a shift of production of computer equipment by the
subject firm to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,150 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Dell Products LP, Parmer North Location, a
subsidiary of Dell, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Belcan Services Group, Hawkins Associates Inc.,
Integrated Human Capital, MagRabbit, Manpower, and
Spherion Corporation, Round Rock, Texas (TA-W-72,150) and

partial separation from employment on date of certification
through January 29, 2012, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the

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 28, 2009 on behalf of workers of Dell Products
LP, Parmer North location (PN1), a subsidiary of Dell, Inc.,
Round Rock, Texas (Dell Products LP). The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of computer equipment
such as workstations, servers and other peripheral equipment.
The workers are not separately identifiable by product. The
worker group also includes on-site leased workers from Belcan
Services Group, Hawkins Associates Inc., Integrated Human
Capital, MagRabbit, Manpower, and Spherion Corporation.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dell Products
LP, Parmer North location (PN1), a subsidiary of Dell, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Belcan Services Group,
Hawkins Associates Inc., Integrated Human Capital, MagRabbit,
Manpower, and Spherion Corporation, Round Rock, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of computer
equipment meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the workers’ firm have become totally
or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of computer equipment by Dell Products LP,
Round Rock, Texas, to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of computer equipment by Dell Products LP, to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Dell
Products LP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Products LP,
Parmer North location (PN1), a subsidiary of Dell, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Belcan Services Group,
Hawkins Associates Inc., Integrated Human Capital, MagRabbit,
Manpower, and Spherion Corporation, Round Rock, Texas, who are
engaged in employment related to production of computer
equipment, 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 Dell Products LP, Parmer North location
(PN1), a subsidiary of Dell, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Belcan Services Group, Hawkins
Associates Inc., Integrated Human Capital, MagRabbit,
Manpower, and Spherion Corporation, Round Rock, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 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 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.”
