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 August 15, 2011 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Boston Scientific Corporation, Information
Systems Division, including on-site leased workers of
Accenture and HP, 4100 Hamline Avenue North and 411 Lexington
Avenue North, Arden Hills, Minnesota (TA-W-80,370) and Boston
Scientific Corporation, Information Systems Division,
including on-site leased workers of Accenture and HP, Maple
Grove, Minnesota (TA-W-80,370A) (Boston Scientific
Corporation). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the supply of information systems and technology services.
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 services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Boston Scientific Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Boston Scientific
Corporation, Information Systems Division, including on-site
leased workers of Accenture and HP, 4100 Hamline Avenue North
and 411 Lexington Avenue North, Arden Hills, Minnesota (TA-W-
80,370) and Boston Scientific Corporation, Information Systems
Division, including on-site leased workers of Accenture and
HP, Maple Grove, Minnesota (TA-W-80,370A), who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of information systems and
technology 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 Boston Scientific Corporation, Information
Systems Division, including on-site leased workers of
Accenture and HP, 4100 Hamline Avenue North and 411
Lexington Avenue North, Arden Hills, Minnesota (TA-W-
80,370) and Boston Scientific Corporation, Information
Systems Division, including on-site leased workers of
Accenture and HP, Maple Grove, Minnesota (TA-W-80,370A),
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 12, 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
