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 at Rennoc
Corporation 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 June 23, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Highland Lakes Software, Inc., Austin, Texas. The
workers are engaged activities related to software development
and marketing. Workers are not separately identifiable by
service.
The investigation revealed that the following criteria for
certification have been met.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been an
acquisition from a foreign country in the supply of software
development and marketing services that are like or directly
competitive with those supplied by the subject firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in software
development and marketing services to India contributed
importantly to worker group separation at the subject firm.







Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Highland Lakes
Software, Inc., Austin, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the service of software development and marketing,
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 Highland Lakes Software, Inc., Austin,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 15, 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."
