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 on behalf of workers of Hewlett Packard, Global
Information Security Organization, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The workers
supply information security services. The worker group includes
virtual workers reporting to the Global Information Security
Organization, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard,
Global Information Security Organization, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of information security
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
workers within the Global Information Security Organization have
been totally or partially separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the information security services
supplied by the Global Information Security Organization.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Hewlett
Packard, Global Information Security Organization, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard, Global
Information Security Organization, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged
in employment related to the supply of information security
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 Hewlett Packard, Global Parts Supply Chain,
Global Information Security Organization, including virtual
workers, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 16th day of December, 2010
