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 June 10, 2016 by the State of Florida on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Service Management-
Onboarding Division, including workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages are reported under HP, Inc., Plano, Texas
(HPE-SMO). Workers of HPE-SMO are engaged in activities related
to the supply of instructional design services. Workers of HPE-SMO
include remote workers who report to the Plano, Texas facility.
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 HPE-SMO 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 those supplied by the subject workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations in HPE-SMO.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of HPE-SMO, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of instructional design
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, Service
Management-Onboarding Division, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported under HP, Inc.,
Plano, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 10, 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 5th day of August 2016.
