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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 16, 2009 on behalf of workers of Computer
Task Group, Inc. (CTG), Indianapolis, Indiana. Workers at the
subject firm are engaged in activities related to information
technology services. The workers are not separately identifiable
by function.
The investigation further revealed that workers of Computer
Task Group, Inc. (CTG), Indianapolis, Indiana who are engaged
in employment related to information technology services meet
the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
information technology services by the subject firm decreased
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
information technology services supplied by CTG have
increased. Specifically, the Department of Labor conducted a
survey of the subject firm's major declining customer regarding
their purchases of information technology services during the
relevant period. The survey revealed increased customer
reliance on imported information technology services.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of information technology services by
customers of CTG contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at CTG.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Computer Task Group,
Inc. (CTG), Indianapolis, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to information technology 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 Computer Task Group, Inc. (CTG),
Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 28, 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."
