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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by such
firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production of
such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed
on November 13, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Huawei Technologies USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Huawei
Investment & Holding Co., Ltd., Plano, Texas (Huawei Technologies
USA). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of delivery, installation, customer support, and network
optimization services. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from APC Workforce Solutions, LLC (ZeroChoas), First Point
Group, Inc., NextGen Global Resources LLC, and Tanintco, Inc.
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 in Huawei Technologies USA have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and/or
production by Huawei Technologies USA have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the service
supplied by Huawei Technologies USA have increased during the
relevant period when compared to the representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Huawei Technologies
USA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Huawei Technologies USA,
Plano, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
delivery, installation, customer support, and network optimization
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 Huawei Technologies USA, Inc., a subsidiary of
Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd., including on-site
leased workers from APC Workforce Solutions, LLC (ZeroChoas),
First Point Group, Inc., NextGen Global Resources LLC, and
Tanintco, Inc., Plano, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 10, 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 1th day of March 2018.
