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 30, 2010 on behalf of workers of Hewlett
Packard/EDS, Primary Delivery Engineer Unit, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The workers are separately identifiable by service supplied.
The subject worker group consists of primary delivery engineers
of Hewlett Packard/EDS who were engaged in employment related
to the supply of systems consulting services and who worked on-
site at Proctor & Gamble's Cincinnati, Ohio facility.
The investigation revealed that the subject worker group
meets the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of the subject worker group has been totally or
partially separated or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
to foreign countries by Hewlett Packard/EDS in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the systems
consulting services supplied by the subject worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
abroad contributed importantly to separations within the
subject worker group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that the subject worker group meets
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 Hewlett Packard/EDS, Primary Delivery
Engineer Unit, who were engaged in employment related to
the supply of systems consulting services and worked on-
site at Proctor & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, and became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 19, 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 24th day of August, 2010
