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 May 5, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Fujitsu America, Inc., Retail Managed Services and
Technical Maintenance Services Department, a subsidiary of
Fujitsu Limited, Richardson, Texas (TA-W-91,778) and Fujitsu
America, Inc., Retail Managed Services and Technical
Maintenance Services Department, a subsidiary of Fujitsu
Limited, Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-91,778A). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of telephone
support services for customers of server storage products.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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)(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 service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Fujitsu America, Inc., Retail Managed Services
and Technical Maintenance Services Department, a subsidiary of
Fujitsu Limited, Richardson, Texas (TA-W-91,778) and Fujitsu
America, Inc., Retail Managed Services and Technical
Maintenance Services Department, a subsidiary of Fujitsu
Limited, Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-W-91,778A).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fujitsu America,
Inc., Retail Managed Services and Technical Maintenance
Services Department, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited,
Richardson, Texas (TA-W-91,778) and Fujitsu America, Inc.,
Retail Managed Services and Technical Maintenance Services
Department, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, Schaumburg,
Illinois (TA-W-91,778A), who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of telephone support for customers of server
storage products 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 Fujitsu America, Inc., Retail Managed
Services and Technical Maintenance Services Department, a
subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, Richardson, Texas (TA-W-
91,778) and Fujitsu America, Inc., Retail Managed
Services and Technical Maintenance Services Department, a
subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, Schaumburg, Illinois (TA-
W-91,778A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 4, 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.
