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 May 2, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Information Systems
Division (ISD), Torrance, California. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology services. The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from APR Consulting, Delta Computer
Consulting, Partners Consulting, iSpace, NetServe Systems,
Sharp Decisions, Inc. (including subcontractors from Aditi,
LLC., Gamacon, Inc., and Infoweb Systems, Inc.), Software
Management Consultants (SMCI), Techlink Systems, TenTek, RyTE
Professionals, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc., Array
Systems, Diana Software Co., Inc., PDS Technical Services, and
IBM.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at ISD.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Honda
Motor Co., Inc., Information Systems Division (ISD), including
on-site leased workers from APR Consulting, Delta Computer
Consulting, Partners Consulting, iSpace, NetServe Systems,
Sharp Decisions, Inc. (including subcontractors from Aditi,
LLC., Gamacon, Inc., and Infoweb Systems, Inc.), Software
Management Consultants (SMCI), Techlink Systems, TenTek, RyTE
Professionals, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc., Array
Systems, Diana Software Co., Inc., PDS Technical Services, and
IBM, Torrance, California, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of information 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 American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,
Information Systems (ISD), including on-site leased
workers from APR Consulting, Delta Computer Consulting,
Partners Consulting, iSpace, NetServe Systems, Sharp
Decisions, Inc. (including subcontractors from Aditi,
LLC., Gamacon, Inc., and Infoweb Systems, Inc.), Software
Management Consultants (SMCI), Techlink Systems, TenTek,
RyTE Professionals, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc.,
Array Systems, Diana Software Co., Inc., PDS Technical
Services, and IBM, Torrance, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 1, 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 under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of June, 2012.
