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 by a State Workforce Official on August 6, 2012 on
behalf of workers of VMC Consulting, VMC Division, a
subsidiary of Volt Information Sciences, including on-site
leased workers from Volt Workforce Solutions, Redmond,
Washington. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of technology consulting services.
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
services supplied by VMC Consulting, VMC Division, 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 VMC Consulting, VMC Division, 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 VMC
Consulting, VMC Division.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of VMC Consulting, VMC
Division, a subsidiary of Volt information Sciences, Redmond,
Washington, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of technology consulting 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 VMC Consulting, VMC Division, a
subsidiary of Volt Information Sciences, including on-
site leased workers from Volt Workforce Solutions,
Redmond, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 3, 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 31st day of January, 2013.
