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 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 15, 2010, by a One-Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of PCCS, Inc., a subsidiary of PEMCO Mutual Insurance
Company, Seattle, Washington (subject firm). The workers
provide information technology (IT) services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Agovia, Consciere, APEX Systems, Inc., Murphy & Associates,
Inc., Northwest Systems Group, Slalom, Staffing Technologies,
LLC, Guidance Consulting, Direct Apps, Inc. (dba Direct
Technology), Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corporation,
Tek Systems, Computer Sciences Corporation, Raining Virtue,
Solutions, Inc., Redmond Technology Partners, LLC, Talis
Consulting Group, LLC, Prodigy Resources LLC, Solutions IQ,
Inc., PDS Technical Services, Inc., BAL Systems Services, and
Ciber, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in employment related to the supply of IT
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm has become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the IT services supplied by the subject
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition by the
subject firm of like or directly competitive services from
India contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Seattle, Washington facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PCCS, Inc., a
subsidiary of PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company, Seattle,
Washington, who are engaged in employment related to the supply
of 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 PCCS, Inc., a subsidiary of PEMCO Mutual
Insurance Company, including on-site leased workers from
Agovia, Consciere, APEX Systems, Inc., Murphy &
Associates, Inc., Northwest Systems Group, Slalom,
Staffing Technologies, LLC, Guidance Consulting, Direct
Apps, Inc. (dba Direct Technology), Cognizant Technology
Solutions U.S. Corporation, Tek Systems, Computer
Sciences Corporation, Raining Virtue, Solutions, Inc.,
Redmond Technology Partners, LLC, Talis Consulting Group,
LLC, Prodigy Resources LLC, Solutions IQ, Inc., PDS
Technical Services, Inc., BAL Systems Services, and
Ciber, Inc., Seattle, Washington, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 8,
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."
