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 May 4, 2016 by the State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., CH2M Hill Inc., CH2M Hill
Constructors, Inc., CH2M Hill Engineering Services, Inc., and
CH2M Hill Alaska, Inc., Energy Division, a subsidiary of CH2M
Hill Companies, Ltd., Bellingham, Washington (CH2M). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
professional 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 and the firm's customers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of professional engineering services by CH2M
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
service supplied by CH2M have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
CH2M.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CH2M Hill Engineers,
Inc., CH2M Hill Inc., CH2M Hill Constructors, Inc., CH2M Hill
Engineering Services, Inc., and CH2M Hill Alaska, Inc., Energy
Division, a subsidiary of CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd.,
Bellingham, Washington, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of professional 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 CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., CH2M Hill Inc.,
CH2M Hill Constructors, Inc., CH2M Hill Engineering
Services, Inc., and CH2M Hill Alaska, Inc., Energy
Division, a subsidiary of CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd.,
Bellingham, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 3, 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 10th day of June 2016.
