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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm
have decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied
by such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 19, 2012, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Beyondsoft Consulting, Inc., working on-site at
Hewlett Packard, Boise, Idaho (Beyondsoft). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology consulting, research and development engineering
services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and sole customer.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
IT consulting, research and development engineering services
by Beyondsoft have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by Beyondsoft have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Beyondsoft.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Beyondsoft
Consulting, Inc., working on-site at Hewlett Packard, Boise,
Idaho, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
IT consulting, research and development engineering 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 Beyondsoft Consulting, Inc., working on-
site at Hewlett Packard, Boise, Idaho, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after July
13, 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 21st day of September, 2012
