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 September 24, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Applications Services
Division, Los Angeles, California. The workers provide
consulting and application development services for Hewlett
Packard and its customers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company who are engaged in employment related to consulting
and application development services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation
over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
by Hewlett Packard contributed importantly to worker group
separations in the Applications Services Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Applications Services Division, Los Angeles,
California, who are engaged in employment related to consulting
and application development 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 Hewlett Packard, Applications Services
Division, Los Angeles, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
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 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of October, 2010
