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 March 10, 2017 on behalf of workers of Amdocs
Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amdocs Limited, GSS NAM
PSG, Champaign, Illinois (Amdocs-GSS NAM PSG). The workers firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of software and
services for communications, media, and financial services. The
subject worker group (Amdocs-GSS NAM PSG) is engaged in
activities related to the supply of billing, provisioning, and
customer care solutions services.
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 of Amdocs-GSS NAM PSG 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 the service supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to subject worker group
separations at Amdocs-GSS NAM PSG.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Amdocs-GSS NAM PSG, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of billing,
provisioning, and customer care solutions 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 Amdocs Incorporated, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Amdocs Limited, GSS NAM PSG, Champaign,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 9, 2016 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 16th day of June 2017.
