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 18, 2010, by a Colorado Workforce
Representative on behalf of workers of Oracle America, Inc., a
subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, Order-to-Cash Strategy and
Operations Division, Broomfield, Colorado. The workers supply
financial support services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Oracle America,
Inc., Order-to-Cash Strategy and Operations Division, who supply
financial support services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers of Oracle America, Inc., Order-to-Cash Strategy and
Operations Division, have been separated or threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Oracle America, Inc. of services like or directly
competitive with the financial support services supplied by
the Order-to-Cash Strategy and Operations Division.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Broomfield, Colorado facility
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Oracle America, Inc.,
Order-to-Cash Strategy and Operations Division, Broomfield,
Colorado, who supply financial support 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 Oracle America, Inc., a subsidiary of
Oracle Corporation, Order-to-Cash Strategy and Operations
Division, Broomfield, Colorado, 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 6th day of April, 2011
