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 December 4, 2013 on behalf of workers of Commercial
Operations, Personal Printing Systems Division, a subsidiary of
Hewlett-Packard Co., Printing and Personal Systems Organization,
Omaha, Nebraska ("Commercial Operations, Personal Printing Systems
Division" or "subject firm"). The subject worker group is engaged
in activities related to the supply of order fulfillment, sales
operations, and finance services. The subject worker group does
not include leased workers.
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 Commercial Operations, Personal
Printing Systems Division 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 order fulfillment, sales operations,
and finance services supplied by the subject worker group, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Commercial
Operations, Personal Printing Systems Division.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Commercial Operations,
Personal Printing Systems Division, a subsidiary of Hewlett-
Packard Co., Printing and Personal Systems Organization, Omaha,
Nebraska, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
order fulfillment, sales operations, and finance 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 Commercial Operations, Personal Printing
Systems Division, a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Co.,
Printing and Personal Systems Organization, Omaha, Nebraska,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after December 2, 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 13th day of January, 2014
