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 14, 2009 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Techonology
and Service Organization, Engineering Services, Santa Rosa,
California (Agilent). The workers are engaged in activities
related to engineering services in support of Agilent products
and services. The worker group consists of on-site leased
workers from Timmsen Counsulting Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Agilent who are
engaged in activities related to engineering services in
support of Agilent products and services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by the workers' firm to a foreign country in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
engineering services in support of Agilent products and
services to Malaysia and India by Agilent contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Agilent.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Agilent Technologies,
Inc., Techonology and Service Organization, Engineering
Services, including on-site leased workers from Timmens
Counsulting Services, Santa Rosa, California, who are engaged
in activities related to engineering services in support of
Agilent products and 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 Agilent Technologies, Inc., Techonology
and Service Organization, Engineering Services, including
on-site leased workers from Timmens Counsulting Services,
Santa Rosa, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 6, 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 4th day of December, 2009.
