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 October 9, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Technical Publications Communications
Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, California. The
subject workers are engaged in activities related to the supply
of technical writing and software document support services.
The subject firm was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-91,644
(certification expired on September 2, 2018).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers of the subject 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 services like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Technical Publications
Communications Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego,
California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc., Technical Publications Communications Group, a subsidiary of
Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of technical writing and
software document 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 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Technical
Publications Communications Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm,
Inc., San Diego, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 3, 2018,
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 26th day of December 2018.
