amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm

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

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.

workers of First Data Resources LLC, Omaha IT Technology
department, a subsidiary of First Data Corporation, Omaha,
Nebraska, (herein known as "First Data Resources, LLC" or

engaged in activities related to the supply of IT services
specifically application development. The subject worker group

workers from Accenture, Adecco, Cognizant Technology Solutions,
and INFOSYS Limited.

number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to

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
