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 October 1, 2010 on behalf of workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm Services Division,
Tampa, Florida (TA-W-74,688). At the request of a company
official, the investigation was expanded to include workers
providing the same functions at facilities in Sacramento and
San Jose, California (TA-W-74,688A); Washington, District of
Columbia (TA-W-74,688B); Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-74,688C);
Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-74,688D); Boston, Massachusetts (TA-W-
74,688E); Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-74,688F); Florham Park and
Jersey City, New Jersey (TA-W-74,688G); Melville, New York
(TA-W-74,688H); and Dallas, Texas (TA-W-74,688I). The worker
group includes on-site leased workers, at any of the listed
locations, from Infosys, Comsys, KForce, Omnipoint, RCG,
Veredus, Information Systems Consultant Incorporated, Computer
Consultants of America, Advantage Technical Resourcing, Tech
USA, and TekSystems. The workers provide internal information
technology services.
The investigation revealed that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, who are engaged in employment
related to internal information technology services, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
information technology services by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP
contributed importantly to worker group separations in the
Internal Firm Services Division at the listed locations.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm Services Division,
Tampa, Florida (TA-W-74,688); Sacramento and San Jose,
California (TA-W-74,688A); Washington, District of Columbia
(TA-W-74,688B); Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-74,688C); Chicago,
Illinois (TA-W-74,688D); Boston, Massachusetts (TA-W-74,688E);
Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-74,688F); Florham Park and Jersey
City, New Jersey (TA-W-74,688G); Melville, New York (TA-W-
74,688H); and Dallas, Texas (TA-W-74,688I), including on-site
leased workers at any of the listed locations, from Infosys,
Comsys, KForce, Omnipoint, RCG, Veredus, Information Systems
Consultant Incorporated, Computer Consultants of America,
Advantage Technical Resourcing, Tech USA, and TekSystems, who
are engaged in employment related to internal information
technology 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Internal Firm
Services Division, Tampa, Florida (TA-W-74,688);
Sacramento and San Jose, California (TA-W-74,688A);
Washington, District of Columbia (TA-W-74,688B); Atlanta,
Georgia (TA-W-74,688C); Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-74,688D);
Boston, Massachusetts (TA-W-74,688E); Detroit, Michigan
(TA-W-74,688F); Florham Park and Jersey City, New Jersey
(TA-W-74,688G); Melville, New York (TA-W-74,688H); and
Dallas, Texas (TA-W-74,688I), including on-site leased
workers at any of the listed locations, from Infosys,
Comsys, KForce, Omnipoint, RCG, Veredus, Information
Systems Consultant Incorporated, Computer Consultants of
America, Advantage Technical Resourcing, Tech USA, and
TekSystems, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 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 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 5th day of November, 2010
