Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on September 1, 2011,
applicable to workers of Iron Mountain Information Management,
Inc., Corporate Service Group, Information Technology (IT)
Division, including on-site leased workers from TEK Systems,
Professional Alternative, Randstad US/Sapphire Technologies,
Spherion Staffing Services/Technisource and Manpower, Boston,
Massachusetts and including off-site workers from California,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, North
Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Vermont and Washington reporting to Boston, Massachusetts. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
digital imaging software. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on September 19, 2011 (76 FR 58046).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that workers leased from Advantage (formerly
known as TAC) and McCallion Staffing were employed on-site at the
Boston, Massachusetts location of Iron Mountain Information
Management, Inc., Corporate Service Group, Information Technology
(IT) Division.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Iron Mountain Information
Management, Inc., Corporate Service Group, Information Technology
(IT) Division be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by
actual/likely increase in imports following a shift abroad.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Advantage (formerly
known as TAC), and McCallion working on-site at the Boston,
Massachusetts location of the subject firm.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,185 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Iron Mountain Management, Inc.,
Corporate Service Group, Information Technology (IT)
Division, including on-site leased workers from TEK
Systems, Professional Alternative, Randstad US/Sapphire
Technologies, Spherion Staffing Services/Technisource,
Manpower Advantage (formerly known as TAC), and
McCallion, Boston, Massachusetts including off-site
workers from California, Florida, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New
Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont
and Washington reporting to Boston, Massachusetts, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 17, 2010, through September 1, 2013,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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, or an appropriate subdivision of
the firm, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers’ firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles which
are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary under
the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean
Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase
in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2011 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc., Corporate Service
Group, Information Technology (IT) Division, Boston,
Massachusetts (Iron Mountain). The workers’ firm is engaged
activities related to the production of digital imaging software.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from TEK
Systems, Professional Alternative, Randstad US / Sapphire
Technologies, Spherion Staffing Services / Technisource and
Manpower. The subject worker group also consists of workers from
California, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont and Washington reporting to Boston,
Massachusetts.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and from the Massachusetts State
Workforce Office.
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 employment
decline is related to the shift in production of digital imaging
software to a foreign country and there has been or is likely to be
an increase in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by such firm
or subdivision.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a significant
number of workers in the workers’ firm are 50 years of age or
older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the workers
in the workers’ firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers’ industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Iron Mountain
Information Management, Inc., Corporate Service Group,
Information Technology (IT) Division, including on-site leased
workers from TEK Systems, Professional Alternative, Randstad US/
Sapphire Technologies, Spherion Staffing Services/Technisource and
Manpower, Boston, Massachusetts and workers from California,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, North
Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Vermont and Washington reporting to Boston, Massachusetts, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of digital
imaging software 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 Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc.,
Corporate Service Group, Information Technology (IT)
Division, including on-site leased workers from TEK Systems,
Professional Alternative, Randstad US/ Sapphire Technologies,
Spherion Staffing Services/Technisource and Manpower, Boston,

Vermont and Washington reporting to Boston, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 17, 2010, 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, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended.”
