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.

"Firm includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in
bankruptcy, and receiver under decree of any court." 29 CFR 90.2
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 4, 2016 on behalf of workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, ES ITO Midrange Delivery, Tulsa, Oklahoma (Hewlett
Packard-ES ITO). Hewlett Packard Enterprise produces computers
and printers. Workers of Hewlett Packard-ES ITO are engaged in
activities related to the supply of midrange maintenance
support services. The subject worker group does not include
on-site 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 Hewlett Packard-ES ITO
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 a service
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to the worker group separations
at Hewlett Packard-ES ITO.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard-ES
ITO, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
midrange maintenance 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ES ITO Midrange
Delivery, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 1, 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 20th day of May 2016.
