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 April 15, 2016 by the State of Texas on behalf of Hewlett
Packard Enterprise, a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard, ES ITO
Network Delivery, Plano, Texas (Hewlett Packard-ES ITO). Workers
of Hewlett Packard-ES ITO are engaged in activities related to the
supply of voice engineering 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 services like or
directly competitive with the voice engineering services supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to 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 voice
engineering 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, a subsidiary of
Hewlett Packard, ES ITO Network Delivery, Plano, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 14, 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 24th day of May 2016.
