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 September 13, 2016 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Sanofi US Services Inc., ITS Research and
Development Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi
S.A., including on-site leased workers from NewAgeSys, Inc.,
Bridgewater, New Jersey (herein known as "Sanofi US Services
Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of pharmaceutical drugs. The subject worker
group includes the iConnect services Group, which falls under
the Research and Development Division and is engaged in
activities related to the supply of internal IT service across
the Research and Development Division.
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 Sanofi US Services Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanofi US Services
Inc., ITS Research and Development Division, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sanofi S.A., including on-site leased workers
from NewAgeSys, Inc. Bridgewater, New Jersey, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of internal IT service
across the Research and Development Division 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 Sanofi US Services Inc., ITS Research and
Development Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi
S.A., including on-site leased workers from NewAgeSys,
Inc. Bridgewater, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 30,
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 18th day of November 2016.
