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 October 5, 2009 on behalf of workers of Hewlett-
Packard, formerly known as Electronic Data Systems, LLC,
Enterprise Services Division, Miramar, Florida. The workers
are engaged in employment related to the supply of software
development, software maintenance, and computer operating
system programming services to clients engaged in the business
of air travel. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Pinnacle Technical Resources, Synova, Management
Technology, Inc., Bay State Computers, Inc., and Strategic
Data Systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett-Packard
who are engaged in employment related to software development,
software maintenance, and computer operating system
programming services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of 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
Hewlett-Packard.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett-Packard,
formerly known as Electronic Data Systems, LLC, Enterprise
Services Division, Miramar, Florida, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of software development,
software maintenance, and computer operating system
programming 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 Hewlett-Packard, formerly known as
Electronic Data Systems, LLC, Enterprise Services
Division, including on-site leased workers of Pinnacle
Technical Resources, Synova, Management Technology, Inc.,
Bay State Computers, Inc., and Strategic Data Systems,
Miramar, Florida, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 2, 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 19th day of July, 2010
