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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to a
firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is related to the
article or service that was the basis for such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the term
"Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly to another
firm component parts for articles, or services used in the production
of articles or in the supply of services, as the case may be, that
were the basis for a certification of eligibility under subsection (a)
[of Section 222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such
other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed by three workers on September 21, 2018, on behalf of
workers of MOL Information Technology America, Inc., America
Office, a subsidiary of MOL America, Inc., a subsidiary of MOL
Americas Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui
O.S.K. Lines, LTD, Woodbridge, New Jersey. The subject workers
are engaged in activities related to the supply of technical
network support services, global application support services,
administrative support services, and application development
support services.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Systanix Corporation.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because MOL Information
Technology America, Inc., America Office, a subsidiary of MOL
America, Inc., a subsidiary of MOL Americas Holding, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, LTD, Woodbridge,
New Jersey is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of
workers who received a certification of eligibility under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
is related to the services that were the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by MOL Information Technology America, Inc., America
Office, a subsidiary of MOL America, Inc., a subsidiary of MOL
Americas Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui
O.S.K. Lines, LTD, Woodbridge, New Jersey with the firm that
employed a certified worker group contributed importantly to
worker separations at MOL Information Technology America, Inc.,
America Office, a subsidiary of MOL America, Inc., a subsidiary
of MOL Americas Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, LTD, Woodbridge, New Jersey.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MOL Information
Technology America, Inc., America Office, a subsidiary of MOL
America, Inc., a subsidiary of MOL Americas Holding, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, LTD, including
on-site leased workers from Systanix Corporation, Woodbridge,
New Jersey, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of technical network support services, global application
support services, administrative support services, and
application development support services meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:




"All workers of MOL Information Technology America, Inc.,
America Office, a subsidiary of MOL America, Inc., a
subsidiary of MOL Americas Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, LTD, including on-site
leased workers from Systanix Corporation, Woodbridge, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 12, 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 12th day of December 2018.
