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 by a State Workforce Representative on September 28, 2010 on
behalf of workers of Dell, Inc., formerly Perot Systems, Insurance
Solutions Operations, Lincoln, Nebraska. The workers are engaged
in activities related to insurance services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dell, Inc.,
formerly Perot Systems, Insurance Solutions Operations, Lincoln,
Nebraska, who supply insurance services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers at Dell, Inc., Formerly Perot Systems, Insurance
Solutions Operations, Lincoln, Nebraska, have been totally or
partially separated or threatened with such separations, during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Dell, Inc., has shifted
the supply of like or directly competitive services to a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services to
a foreign country contributed importantly to worker separations
at Dell, Inc., Formerly Perot Systems, Insurance Solutions
Operations, Lincoln, Nebraska.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell, Inc., formerly
Perot Systems, Insurance Solutions Operations, Lincoln, Nebraska,
who supply insurance 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 Dell, Inc., formerly Perot Systems,
Insurance Solutions Operations, Lincoln, Nebraska, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 7, 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 2nd day of February, 2011
