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 May 29, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of ATOS IT Solutions and Services, Inc., f/k/a Siemens
IT Solutions & Services, Inc. (ATOS), a subsidiary of ATOS
International, Service Management Center, Mason, Ohio (ATOS-
Service Management Center). The workers' firm is engaged in
employment related to the supply of information technology (IT)
services. The subject worker group (ATOS-Service Management
Center) includes on-site leased workers from NSC Global but
excludes workers covered by TA-W-82,999 (identified in the
petition).
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 ATOS-Service Management
Center 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 IT services
like or directly competitive with those services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at ATOS-Service Management Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ATOS-Service
Management Center, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of IT 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 ATOS IT Solutions and Services, Inc.,
f/k/a Siemens IT Solutions & Services, Inc., a subsidiary
of ATOS International, Service Management Center, including
on-site leased workers from NSC Global, Mason, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 28, 2014, 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 16th day of October, 2015
