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 14, 2010 on behalf of workers of Dell, Inc., Dell
Financial Services Fraud Prevention Operations, Austin, Texas. The
workers are engaged in activities related to fraud prevention
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dell, Inc., Dell
Financial Services Fraud Prevention Operations, Austin, Texas, who
supply fraud prevention services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers at Dell, Inc., Dell Financial Services Fraud Prevention
Operations, Austin, Texas, 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 foreign
countries.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker separations at Dell, Inc., Dell
Financial Services Fraud Prevention Operations, Austin, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell, Inc., Dell
Financial Services Fraud Prevention Operations, Austin, Texas, who
supply fraud prevention 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., Dell Financial Services Fraud
Prevention Operations, Austin, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 8,
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 4th day of February, 2011
