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 Hewlett Packard
Company, Inkjet Supplies Business, Boise, Idaho (HP). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
thermal inkjet cartridges and orifice plating mandrels. The
workers are not separately identifiable. The group also consists
of on-site leased workers from Technical Aid Corporation d/b/a
TAC Worldwide Company, ATP Personnel Services, Manpower
Incorporated, Volt Information Sciences Incorporated, CDI
Corporation, and Synova Incorporated. The worker group was under
an existing certification (TA-W-62,350) that expired on
November 29, 2009.
The investigation revealed that workers of HP who are
engaged in activities related to production of thermal inkjet
cartridges and orifice plating mandrels meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at HP have become totally or partially
separated or are threatened with total or partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production to a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by HP.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of thermal
inkjet cartridges and orifice plating mandrels to Singapore by
HP contributed importantly to worker group separations at HP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Inkjet Supplies Business, including on-site leased
workers from Technical Aid Corporation d/b/a TAC Worldwide
Company, ATP Personnel Services, Manpower Incorporated, Volt
Information Sciences Incorporated, CDI Corporation, and Synova
Incorporated, Boise, Idaho, who are engaged in activities
related to inkjet cartridges and orifice plating mandrels 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 Hewlett Packard Company, Inkjet Supplies
Business, including on-site leased workers from Technical
Aid Corporation d/b/a TAC Worldwide Company, ATP Personnel
Services, Manpower Incorporated, Volt Information Sciences
Incorporated, CDI Corporation, and Synova Incorporated,
Boise, Idaho, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 30, 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 8th day of June, 2010.
