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 May 8, 2018 by a state workforce official on behalf of
workers of Ricoh USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Ricoh America
Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from All
Source PPS, Amerit Consulting, Inc., Apple One, Computer Task
Group, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Spectraforce Technologies,
Inc., and US Tech Solutions, Inc., Boulder, Colorado (Ricoh
USA). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of office solutions including office printing and
imaging equipment, audiovisual collaboration technologies,
production print solutions, document workflow solutions, and IT
and technical support services. The workers are not separately
identifiable by function.
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 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 acquired from a foreign country a portion of the
supply of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by the workers of the subject firm which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Ricoh
USA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ricoh USA, Inc., a
subsidiary of Ricoh America Holdings, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from All Source PPS, Amerit Consulting, Inc.,
Apple One, Computer Task Group, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc.,
Spectraforce Technologies, Inc., and US Tech Solutions, Inc.,
Boulder, Colorado, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of office solutions including office printing and imaging
equipment, audiovisual collaboration technologies, production
print solutions, document workflow solutions, and IT and
technical support 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 Ricoh USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Ricoh
America Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from All Source PPS, Amerit Consulting, Inc., Apple One,
Computer Task Group, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc.,
Spectraforce Technologies, Inc., and US Tech Solutions,
Inc., Boulder, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 7, 2017 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 22nd day of June 2018.
