Amended 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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on April 20, 2011, applicable to workers
of Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group,
Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810), Symantec Corporation, SQA
Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group, Mountain View, California
(TA-W-80,810A), and Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS
and VCS-One Group, Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-80,810B).
The Department’s Notice of determination was published in
the Federal Register on May 3, 2011 (76 FR 24915). The subject
worker groups provide SQA engineering services.
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of Symantec Corporation
(subject firm).
New findings show that the Encryption Engineering Division,
SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Division, work in conjunction
with each other, that the afore-mentioned groups are under the
Enterprise Products Division umbrella of the subject firm, and
that the afore-mentioned groups have experienced significant
worker separations due to a shift in supply of SQA engineering
services (or like or directly competitive services) to India.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Encryption Engineering Division at the
Mountain View, California location, and to correct the subject
firm name in its entirety.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in SQA engineering services to Pune, India.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,810, TA-W-74,810A
and TA-W-74,810B are hereby issued as follows:
“All workers of Symantec Corporation, The Enterprise
Product and Services Group, SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-
One Division, Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810), Symantec
Corporation, The Enterprise Product and Services Group, SQA
Engineering and VCS and VCS-One Division, Encryption
Engineering Division, including remote workers across the
United States, Mountain View, California (TA-W-74,810A),
and Symantec Corporation, The Enterprise Product and
Services Group, SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Division,
Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-74,810B), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 1,
2009, through April 20, 2013, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on 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.”

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 November 3, 2010, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS
and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810). The worker
group includes workers of Symantec Corporation, SQA
Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group, in Mountain View,
California (TA-W-74,810A) and Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-
74,810B). The workers provide SQA engineering services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Symantec
Corporation, who are engaged in employment related to SQA
engineering services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during 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 SQA engineering services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country by Symantec Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations in the SQA
Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Symantec Corporation,
SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-
74,810), Mountain View, California (TA-W-74,810A), and
Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-74,810B), who are engaged in employment
related to SQA engineering 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 Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS
and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810), Mountain
View, California (TA-W-74,810A), and Beaverton, Oregon
(TA-W-74,810B), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 1, 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.”

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 November 3, 2010, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS
and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810). The worker
group includes workers of Symantec Corporation, SQA
Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group, in Mountain View,
California (TA-W-74,810A) and Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-
74,810B). The workers provide SQA engineering services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Symantec
Corporation, who are engaged in employment related to SQA
engineering services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during 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 SQA engineering services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country by Symantec Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations in the SQA
Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Symantec Corporation,
SQA Engineering, VCS and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-
74,810), Mountain View, California (TA-W-74,810A), and
Beaverton, Oregon (TA-W-74,810B), who are engaged in employment
related to SQA engineering 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 Symantec Corporation, SQA Engineering, VCS
and VCS-One Group, Austin, Texas (TA-W-74,810), Mountain
View, California (TA-W-74,810A), and Beaverton, Oregon
(TA-W-74,810B), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 1, 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.”
