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 August 29, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., a subsidiary of Jacobs
Engineering Group, Inc., including workers whose wages were
reported through CH2M Hill, Inc., and on-site leased workers
from The Bergaila Companies and HKA Enterprises, Corvallis,
Oregon (herein referred to as "CH2M Hill/Jacobs"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
corporate and general engineering services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CH2M Hill/Jacobs.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CH2M Hill Engineers,
Inc., a subsidiary of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.,
including workers whose wages were reported through CH2M Hill,
Inc., and on-site leased workers from The Bergaila Companies
and HKA Enterprises, Corvallis, Oregon, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of corporate and general
engineering 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 CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., a subsidiary of
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., including workers whose
wages were reported through CH2M Hill, Inc., and on-site
leased workers from The Bergaila Companies and HKA
Enterprises, Corvallis, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 28,
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 24th day of September 2018.
