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 March 30, 2016 on behalf of workers of Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., Technical Publications Group, a subsidiary of
Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, California (TA-W-91,644) and Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., Technical Publications Group, a subsidiary of
Qualcomm, Inc., San Jose, California (TA-W-91,644A) (collectively
hereafter referred to a "Qualcomm-Technical Publications Group").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of telecommunications products and services. The subject
workers (Qualcomm-Technical Publications Group) are engaged in
activities related to the supply of technical writing and
software document support services. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Qualcomm-Technical Publications
Group 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 service supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Qualcomm-Technical Publications Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Qualcomm-Technical
Publications Group, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of technical writing and software document support
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 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Technical
Publications Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, Inc., San
Diego, California (TA-W-91,644) and Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc., Technical Publications Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm,
Inc., San Jose, California (TA-W-91,644A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 18,
2015, 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 2nd day of September 2016.
