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 December 12, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Corporate Engineering &
QCT Configuration Management Group, a subsidiary of Qualcomm,
Inc., San Diego, California (hereafter referred to as "Qualcomm-
Corporate Engineering & QCT Configuration Management Group"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
telecommunications products and services. The subject worker
group (Qualcomm-Corporate Engineering & QCT Configuration
Management Group) are engaged in activities related to the supply
of product lifecycle management services. The subject worker
group does not include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Qualcomm-Corporate Engineering &
QCT Configuration Management Group 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 product lifecycle management
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Qualcomm-Corporate
Engineering & QCT Configuration Management Group.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Qualcomm-Corporate
Engineering & QCT Configuration Management Group, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of product lifecycle
management services, is archived, 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., Corporate
Engineering & QCT Configuration Management Group, a
subsidiary of Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 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 22nd day of February 2019.
