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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 8, 2011, by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Ingersoll Rand, Security Technologies Division,
Carmel, Indiana. The worker group supplies information
technology support services for their firm. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Tata Consultancy Services,
Cognizant Technology Solutions, Dyna-Bl Systems, Inc., Tavant
Technologies, Inc., WiPro Technologies, and IBM Corporation.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the information technology support
services supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly
to the worker group separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ingersoll Rand,
Security Technologies Division, Carmel, Indiana, who are
engaged in activities 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 Ingersoll Rand, Security Technologies
Division, including on-site leased workers from Tata
Consultancy Services, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Dyna-
Bl Systems, Inc., Tavant Technologies, Inc., WiPro
Technologies, and IBM Corporation, Carmel, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 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 December 20,
2011 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 17th day of November, 2011
