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 April 1, 2010 by a state worker on behalf of workers of
Suncor Energy (U.S.A), Inc., a subsidiary of Suncor Energy,
Inc., Greenwood Village, Colorado (Suncor Energy). The workers
are engaged in employment related to the supply of human
resources and supply chain management services, and are not
separately identifiable by service supplied.
The investigation revealed that workers of Suncor Energy,
Greenwood Village, Colorado, who are engaged in employment
related to the supply of human resources and supply chain
management services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Suncor Energy, Greenwood Village,
Colorado has been totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Suncor Energy has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of human resources and
supply chain management services (or like or directly
competitive services).
Criterion III has been met because the shift to Canada
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Suncor
Energy, Greenwood Village, Colorado.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Suncor Energy
(U.S.A.), Inc., a subsidiary of Suncor Energy, Inc., Greenwood
Village, Colorado, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of human resources and supply chain management 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 Suncor Energy (U.S.A.), Inc., a subsidiary
of Suncor Energy, Inc., Greenwood Village, Colorado, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 11, 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 1st day of September, 2010
