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 September 27, 2012 by a state workforce
representative on behalf of workers of Dell Marketing L. P.,
Public Sales in Major Public Accounts, Select Public Accounts
and Healthcare Life Sciences Departments, Round Rock, Texas.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
development, sales, and production of computers and related
products and services. The worker group supplies
transactional 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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the transactional services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Dell Marketing L. P., Public Sales
in Major Public Accounts, Select Public Accounts and
Healthcare Life Sciences Departments, Round Rock, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Marketing L.
P., Public Sales in Major Public Accounts, Select Public
Accounts and Healthcare Life Sciences Departments, Round Rock,
Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
transactional 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 Dell Marketing L. P., Public Sales in
Major Public Accounts, Select Public Accounts and
Healthcare Life Sciences Departments, Round Rock, Texas
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 26, 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 22nd day of October, 2012
