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 26, 2013 on behalf of workers of CEMEX
Materials, LLC, Business Services Organization (BSO), a
subsidiary of CEMEX, Inc., West Palm Beach, Florida. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
internal business process and information technology services
including finance and accounting, human resource back-office
services, as well as IT infrastructure, application development
and maintenance services to affiliates and subsidiary companies.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at CEMEX.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CEMEX Materials, LLC,
Business Services Organization (BSO), a subsidiary of CEMEX,
Inc., West Palm Beach, Florida, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of internal business process and
information technology services including finance and
accounting, human resource back-office services, as well as IT
infrastructure, application development and maintenance services
to affiliates and subsidiary companies 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 CEMEX Materials, LLC, Business Services
Organization (BSO), a subsidiary of CEMEX, Inc., West
Palm Beach, Florida, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 20, 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 14th day of November, 2013.
