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 February 17, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of International Game Technology (IGT), Machine
Accounting and ABS (Bonusing and BEII), Engineering, Corvalis,
Oregon (TA-W-73,477) and International Game Technology (IGT),
Casinolink, Engineering, Carlsbad, California (TA-W-73,477A).
The workers are engaged in activities related to engineering
services in support of production of electronic gaming systems
and equipment. The workers are separately identifiable. Both
groups consist of on-site leased workers from AppleOne, HCL
America, VersaShore, Inc., Clear Peak Holdings, LLC, and Comsys
Services, LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of IGT who are
engaged in activities related to engineering services in
support of production of electronic gaming systems and
equipment 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 or are threatened with total or
partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because 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.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
engineering services in support of production of electronic
gaming systems and equipment to China by IGT contributed
importantly to worker group separations at IGT.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International Game
Technology (IGT), Machine Accounting and ABS (Bonusing and
BEII), Engineering, including on-site leased workers from
AppleOne, HCL America, VersaShore, Inc., Clear Peak Holdings,
LLC, and Comsys Services, LLC, Corvalis, Oregon (TA-W-73,477)
and International Game Technology (IGT), Casinolink,
Engineering, including on-site leased workers from AppleOne, HCL
America, VersaShore, Inc., Clear Peak Holdings, LLC, and Comsys
Services, LLC, Carlsbad, California (TA-W-73,477A), who are
engaged in activities related to engineering services in
support of production of electronic gaming systems and
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 International Game Technology (IGT),
Machine Accounting and ABS (Bonusing and BEII),
Engineering, including on-site leased workers from
AppleOne, HCL America, VersaShore, Inc., Clear Peak
Holdings, LLC, and Comsys Services, LLC, Corvalis, Oregon
(TA-W-73,477) and International Game Technology (IGT),
Casinolink, Engineering, including on-site leased workers
from AppleOne, HCL America, VersaShore, Inc., Clear Peak
Holdings, LLC, and Comsys Services, LLC, Carlsbad,
California (TA-W-73,477A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 5, 2009,
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 18th day of May, 2010.
