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 February 8, 2013 by a One-Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of Dell Products LP, Global Products Data Management,
located Austin (TA-W-82,434) and Round Rock, Texas (TA-W-
82,434A). The workers' firm is engaged in development, sales,
and production of computers and related products and services.
The worker group supplies product data services.
This determination covers workers at three Dell
facilities located at: 701 East Parmer Lane, Austin, TX 78753;
2300 Greenlawn Boulevard, Round Rock, TX 78682; and One Dell
Way, Round Rock, TX 78682.
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 product data services
supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Dell Products LP, Global Products
Data Management.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Products LP,
Global Products Data Management, located Austin (TA-W-82,434)
and Round Rock, Texas (TA-W-82,434A), who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of product data 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 Products LP, Global Products Data
Management, located Austin (TA-W-82,434) and Round Rock,
Texas (TA-W-82,434A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 7, 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 15th day of March, 2013.
