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 16, 2010 on behalf of workers of Amdocs BCS,
Inc., BC&S Division, a subsidiary of Amdocs, Inc., El Dorado
Hills, California (Amdocs BCS). The workers are engaged in
employment related to software design, development, testing,
customer supports, and managed services for the broadband,
cable, and satellite industries. The petitioners allege that
separations are the result of off shoring to India.
The investigation revealed that workers of Amdocs BCS, El
Dorado Hills, California, who are engaged in employment
related to software design, development, testing, customer
supports, and managed services for the broadband, cable, and
satellite industries, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers at Amdocs BCS has been totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Amdocs BCS has shifted
to a foreign country the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the service supplied by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to India contributed importantly to worker group separations
at the El Dorado Hills, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Amdocs BCS, Inc.,
BC&S Division, a subsidiary of Amdocs, Inc., El Dorado Hills,
California, who are engaged in employment related to the supply
of software design, development, testing, customer supports,
and managed services for the broadband, cable, and satellite
industries, 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 Amdocs BCS, Inc., BC&S Division, a
subsidiary of Amdocs, Inc., El Dorado Hills, California,
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 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."
