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 June 5, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Diebold Incorporated, Information Technology and
Financial Shared Services North Canton, Ohio. The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
Automated Teller Machines and security products. The
Information Technology and Financial Shared Services Group
supplies information technology and financial services to the
firm.
Workers of the firm were previously certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance based on a shift in
production to a foreign country, under TA-W-70,993. This
certification expired on April 1, 2012. The certification
covered all workers of the firm.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Diebold Incorporated, Information Technology and Financial
Shared Services North Canton, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Diebold
Incorporated, Information Technology and Financial Shared
Services North Canton, Ohio, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of information technology and financial
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 Diebold Incorporated, Information
Technology and Financial Shared Services North Canton,
Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 2, 2012 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 11th day of July, 2012.
