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 26, 2016 by workers of CH2M Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of CH2M HILL Companies Ltd., Division of Finance and
Accounting, Englewood, Colorado (CH2M). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of finance and
accounting services. The subject worker group does not include
on-site leased workers. The workers are not separately
identifiable by service supplied.
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 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 services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CH2M.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CH2M Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of CH2M HILL Companies Ltd., Division of
Finance and Accounting, Englewood, Colorado, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of finance and accounting
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 Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
CH2M HILL Companies Ltd., Division of Finance and
Accounting, Englewood, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 12,
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 1th day of August 2016.
