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 24, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of ARRIS Solutions, Inc., including workers whose wages
were reported through ARRIS Enterprises, Inc. and ARRIS
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of ARRIS Group, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Axian, Inc.; BizTek
People, Inc.; CorTech; Everest Consultants, Inc.; Insight
Global; IT Motives, LLC; JLL; KellyOCG; Lindenwood University;
Oregon Institute of Technology; Service Master Solutions;
Softsource Consulting, Inc., and TekSystems, Beaverton, Oregon
(herein known as "ARRIS"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of software development,
delivery and support to telco and cable customers in the form
of quality assurance/data management tools, field services
management, multi-screen video and advertising applications.
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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at ARRIS.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ARRIS Solutions,
Inc., including workers whose wages were reported through
ARRIS Enterprises, Inc. and ARRIS Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of ARRIS Group, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Axian, Inc.; BizTek People, Inc.; CorTech;
Everest Consultants, Inc.; Insight Global; IT Motives, LLC;
JLL; KellyOCG; Lindenwood University; Oregon Institute of
Technology; Service Master Solutions; Softsource Consulting,
Inc., and TekSystems, Beaverton, Oregon, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of software development,
delivery and support to telco and cable customers in the form
of quality assurance/data management tools, field services
management, multi-screen video and advertising applications
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 ARRIS Solutions, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported through ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.
and ARRIS Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of ARRIS
Group, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Axian,

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."
