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 February 9, 2011 on behalf of workers of ACS
Outsourcing Solutions, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The
workers supply information technology support services. The
worker group does not include any workers from a staffing or
temporary agency.
The investigation revealed that workers of ACS Outsourcing
Solutions, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of information technology
support services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at ACS Outsourcing Solutions, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have been totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because ACS Outsourcing
Solutions, Inc. has shifted to a foreign country the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the information
technology support services supplied by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift to India
contributed importantly to worker group separations at ACS
Outsourcing Solutions, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ACS Outsourcing
Solutions, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of information technology
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 ACS Outsourcing Solutions, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 8, 2010,
through two years from the date of certification, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 1st day of April, 2011
