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. (Set forth in 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 February 8, 2011 on behalf of workers of Dell Services,
CHPW Account (Tulsa) Division, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The workers
supplied claims processing services. The worker group includes
workers whose wages were reported under Transaction Applications
Group, Inc. (FEIN: 47-0716705), formerly known as Perot Systems
Business Process Solutions, Inc. (FEIN: 75-2011854).
The investigation revealed that workers of Dell Services,
who are engaged in activities related to claims processing
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated or threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired services from a foreign country like or directly
competitive with the claims processing services supplied by CHPW
Account (Tulsa) Division.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from a foreign country contributed importantly to
worker group separations in the CHPW Account (Tulsa) Division.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Services, CHPW
Account (Tulsa) Division, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged in
employment related to claims processing 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 Services, CHPW Account (Tulsa)
Division, including workers whose wages were reported under
Transactional Applications Group, Inc., formerly known as
Perot Systems Business Process Solutions, Inc., Tulsa,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 7, 2010, 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 25th day of March, 2011
