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 March 4, 2010 on behalf of workers of The Boeing
Company, Engineering Operations and Technology Division and
Information Technology Division, St. Louis, Missouri,
including off-site workers reporting to St. Louis, Missouri
(73,635); St. Charles, Missouri (73,635A); and Hazelwood,
Missouri (73,635B). The workers supply information technology
services for their firm.
Certification number TA-W-73,635 covers workers of the
Engineering Operations and Technology Division and Information
Technology Division, who work at or report to The Boeing
Company facilities at 163 J.S. McDonnell Blvd., St. Louis,
Missouri; 5775 Campus Pkwy, St. Louis, Missouri; and 6300 J.S.
McDonnell Blvd., St. Louis, Missouri.
The investigation revealed that workers of The Boeing
Company, who are engaged in employment related to information
technology services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become separated or are threatened to become
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
by The Boeing Company contributed importantly to worker group
separations in the Engineering Operations and Technology
Division and Information Technology Division in the St. Louis
area locations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Boeing Company,
Engineering Operations and Technology Division and Information
Technology Division, St. Louis, Missouri, including off-site
workers reporting to St. Louis, Missouri (73,635); St.
Charles, Missouri (73,635A); and Hazelwood, Missouri
(73,635B), who are engaged in employment 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 The Boeing Company, Engineering Operations
and Technology Division and Information Technology
Division, St. Louis, Missouri, including off-site workers
reporting to St. Louis, Missouri (73,635), The Boeing
Company, Engineering Operations and Technology Division
and Information Technology Division, St. Charles,
Missouri (73,635A), and The Boeing Company, Engineering
Operations and Technology Division and Information
Technology Division, Hazelwood, Missouri (73,635B), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 24, 2009, 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 13th day of August, 2010
