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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is related
to the article or service that was the basis for such
certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or services used in the
production of articles or in the supply of services, as the case
may be, that were the basis for a certification of eligibility
under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of a group of
workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed
on April 1, 2013 by the State of Washington on behalf of workers of
Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., Hewlett Packard Image Printer
Group, working on-site at Hewlett Packard Company, Vancouver,
Washington (Lionbridge). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of testing services and technical support.
The workers' firm does not utilize any leased workers at the
Vancouver, Washington location client location.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because the workers' firm is
a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the production of
the articles that were the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Lionbridge with the firm that employed a certified
worker group contributed importantly to the workers' separation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lionbridge
Technologies, Inc., Hewlett Packard Image Printer Group, working
on-site at Hewlett Packard Company, Vancouver, Washington, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of testing services
and technical support, meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:






"All workers of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., Hewlett Packard
Image Printer Group, working on-site at Hewlett Packard
Company, Vancouver, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 15, 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 10th day of May, 2013
