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 July 17, 2019, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Synopsys, Inc., Design Group, including on-site
leased workers from PRO Unlimited, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-
94,999); Synopsys, Inc., Verification Group, including on-site
leased workers from Vayavya Labs, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-
94,999A); and Synopsys, Inc., Silicon Engineering Group,
including on-site leased workers from PRO Unlimited, Manceps,
Inc., and TalentBurst, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999B)
("Synopsys Hillsboro"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of various software and
technology services, including electronic design automation.
The subject worker group includes all workers found in the
Design Group, Verification Group, and Silicon Engineering Group.
All of these groups are located at the same Hillboro, Oregon,
work site.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 partially 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 Synopsys Hillsboro.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Synopsys, Inc.,
Design Group, including on-site leased workers from PRO
Unlimited, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999); Synopsys, Inc.,
Verification Group, including on-site leased workers from
Vayavya Labs, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999A); and Synopsys,
Inc., Silicon Engineering Group, including on-site leased
workers from PRO Unlimited, Manceps, Inc., and TalentBurst,
Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999B), who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of various software and technology
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 Synopsys, Inc., Design Group, including
on-site leased workers from PRO Unlimited, Hillsboro,
Oregon (TA-W-94,999); Synopsys, Inc., Verification Group,
including on-site leased workers from Vayavya Labs,
Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999A); and Synopsys, Inc.,
Silicon Engineering Group, including on-site leased
workers from PRO Unlimited, Manceps, Inc., and
TalentBurst, Hillsboro, Oregon (TA-W-94,999B), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 16, 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 5th day of November 2019.
