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 December 3, 2009 on behalf of workers of Perot Systems
Corporation, now known as Dell Perot Systems, Healthcare
Business Unit, Phoenix, Arizona. The workers are engaged in
activities related to information technology support services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from AP
Professionals, Beacon Hill Staffing Group, LLC., C & T
Consulting Services, LLP., CCSI, Inc., Code X, Inc., COMSYS
Information Technology Services, DISYS, Esoftsolutions, Inc.,
Ewings Associates, Inc., GeBBS Software International, Icon
Information Consultant, Kforce, Inc., MountVision Counsulting,
Synergy Services, Inc., Pingho Associate Corp, RSInterest,
LTD, Spherion Corporation, Technisource Technology Partners
(formerly known as Imperium), TEKsystems, Inc. and Thompson
Technologies, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Perot Systems
Corp., who are engaged in activities related to information
technology support services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the 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 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
information technology support services to India by Perot
Systems Corp. contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Perot Systems Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Perot Systems,
Healthcare Business Unit, Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in
activities related to information technology support 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 Perot Systems, Healthcare Business
Unit, working on-site at Catholic Healthcare West,
including on-site leased workers from AP Professionals,
Beacon Hill Staffing Group, LLC., C&T Consulting
Services, LLP., CCSI, Inc., Code X, Inc., COMSYS
Information Technology Services, DISYS, Esoftsolutions,
Inc., Ewings Associates, Inc., GeBBS Software
International, Icon Information Consultant, Kforce, Inc.,
MountVision Counsulting, Synergy Services, Inc., Pingho
Associate Corp, RSInterest, LTD, Spherion Corporation,

Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 1, 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."
