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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production
of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 27, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Precision Computer Services, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Kenzie & Company, LLC and Advantage
Technical Resourcing, Shelton, Connecticut (Precision Computer
Services). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of staff augmentation and information technology
related services. The workers are not separately identifiable by
service supplied.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from Precision Computer Services and its major
declining customer(s).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Precision Computer Services have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because Precision
Computer Services sales of staff augmentation and information
technology related services have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the staff
augmentation and information technology related services
supplied by Precision Computer Services have increased during the
relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at Precision Computer Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Precision Computer
Services, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
staff augmentation and information technology related 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 Precision Computer Services, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Kenzie & Company, LLC and
Advantage Technical Resourcing, Shelton, Connecticut, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 22, 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 26th day of August 2016.
