Negative Determination 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.
Workers of a firm may be eligible for worker adjustment
assistance if they satisfy the criteria of subsection (a), (b) or
(e) of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), (b) and (e).
For the Department of Labor to issue a certification for workers
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), the following
criteria must be met:
(1) The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm must have become
totally or partially separated or be threatened with total or
partial separation.

(2) The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied in one of two
ways:
(A) Increased Imports Path:
(i) sales or production, or both, at the workers' firm must
have decreased absolutely; AND
(ii) (I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles or services produced or
supplied by the workers' firm have increased, OR
(II)(aa) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles into which the component part produced
by the workers' firm was directly incorporated have
increased; OR
(II)(bb) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles which are produced directly using the
services supplied by the workers' firm have
increased; OR
(III) imports of articles directly incorporating component
parts not produced in the U.S. that are like or
directly competitive with the article into which the
component part produced by the workers' firm was
directly incorporated have increased; AND
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

(B) Shift in Production or Supply Path:
(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 described in clause (i)(I) or the acquisition of
articles or services described in clause (i)(II)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation.

For the Department to issue a secondary worker certification
under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), to workers of
a Supplier or a Downstream Producer, the following criteria must be
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
terms "Supplier" and "Downstream Producer."
Workers of a firm may also be considered eligible if they are
publicly identified by name by the International Trade Commission as
a member of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in a
category of determination that is listed in Section 222(e) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e).
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by the
International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption or
threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material injury
or threat thereof under section 705(b)(1)(A) or
735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b)(1)(A) and 1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period beginning
on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the President by
the International Trade Commission under section
202(f)(1) with respect to the affirmative
determination described in paragraph (1)(A) is
published in the Federal Register under section
202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described in
subparagraph (1) is published in the Federal
Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed
on August 13, 2019 by a company official on behalf of workers and
former workers of Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, Seattle Research
Center, including on-site leased workers from Workforce Logiq,
Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc., Bellevue,
Washington (TA-W-95,065), Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, New Jersey
Research Center, including on-site leased workers from Workforce
Logiq, Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc.,
Bridgewater, New Jersey (TA-W-95,065A), Futurewei Technologies,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd,
Phoenix Office, including on-site leased workers from Workforce
Logiq, Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc.,
Chandler, Arizona (TA-W-95,065B), Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd,
Greensboro Office, including on-site leased workers from Workforce
Logiq, Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc.,
Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-95,065C), Futurewei Technologies,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd,
Louisville Office, including on-site leased workers from Workforce
Logiq, Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc.,
Louisville, Colorado (TA-W-95,065D), Futurewei Technologies, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd,
Mountain View Office, including on-site leased workers from
Workforce Logiq, Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups,
Inc., Mountain View, California (TA-W-95,065E), Futurewei
Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Huawei
Technologies Co., Ltd, San Diego Research Center, including on-
site leased workers from Workforce Logiq, Experis, Wipro,
Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc., San Diego, California (TA-
W-95,065F), Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, San Francisco Office,
including on-site leased workers from Workforce Logiq, Experis,
Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc., San Francisco,
California (TA-W-95,065G), Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, Dallas Research
Center, including on-site leased workers from Workforce Logiq,
Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc., Plano,
Texas (TA-W-95,065H), and Futurewei Technologies, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, Rolling Meadows
Office, including on-site leased workers from Workforce Logiq,
Experis, Wipro, Intellipro, and The Mice Groups, Inc., Rolling
Meadows, Illinois (TA-W-95,065I) (collectively referred to as
"Futurewei Technologies"). Worker of Futurewei Technologies are
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology and communications research and development services.
The petition states: "Due to the curtailment of business operations
caused by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
Security's listing . . . Futurewei Technologies, Inc. announced a
reduction in force, directly impacting over 600 U.S. positions."
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that subject firm imports of services like
or directly competitive with the information technology and
communications research and development services supplied by the
subject workers did not increase during the relevant period.
With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that the workers' firm did not shift the
supply of information technology and communications research and
development services, or a like or directly competitive service,
to a foreign country or acquire the supply of such services from a
foreign country.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that the workers' firm is not 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).
Finally, the group eligibility requirements under Section
222(e) of the Act, have not been satisfied because Criterion (1) has
not been met since the workers' firm has not been publicly
identified by name by the International Trade Commission as a member
of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in an
affirmative finding of serious injury, market disruption, or
material injury, or threat thereof.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that the requirements of Section 222 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272, have not been met and, therefore, deny
the petition for group eligibility of Futurewei Technologies, Inc.,
