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 definition of a firm "includes an individual
proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, association,
corporation (including a development corporation), business
trust, cooperative trustee in bankruptcy, and receiver under
decree of any court. A firm, together with any predecessor or
successor-in-interest, or together with any affiliated firm
controlled or substantially beneficially owned by substantially
the same persons, may be considered a single firm." 29 CFR 90.2.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 19, 2016 by United Auto Workers (UAW), Local
1069 on behalf of workers of The Boeing Company, Vertical Lift
Division, Ridley Park, Pennsylvania (hereafter referred to as
"Boeing"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of CH-47 Chinook and V-22 Osprey rotorcraft.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
American Cybersystems, Inc., Apex Systems LLC, Apollo
Professional Solutions, Inc., Aquent LLC, Artech Information
Systems LLC, Ateeca, Inc., Chipton Ross, Inc., Chipton Ross,
Inc. (Nevada), Collabera, Inc., Columbus Technologies and
Services, Inc., CTS International, Inc., Globalpundits
Technology Consultancy, Inc., Iconma LLC, Moseley Technical
Services, Inc., Objectwin Technology, Inc., PDS Technical
Services Inc., Searchpros Solutions LLC, Triad Systems
International, US Tech Solutions, Inc., Verify, Inc., Volt
Services and Yoh Services. Workers are not separately
identifiable by the article produced.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and petitioner attachments.
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Boeing.

investigation, I determine that workers of The Boeing Company,
Vertical Lift Division, including on-site leased workers from

engaged in activities related to the production of CH-47 Chinook
and V-22 Osprey rotorcraft, 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
