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

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

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 15, 2012, on behalf of workers of PepsiCo, Inc.,

The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
information technology support services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Procurestaff, Cognizant,
Infosys, Wipro, and TCS.
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 PepsiCo-BIS 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

Plano, Texas, 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. §

2273, I make the following certification:
“All workers of PepsiCo, Inc., Business & Information
Solutions (BIS), including on-site leased workers from
Procurestaff, Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro, and TCS, Plano,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 14, 2011, 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
