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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm 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.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 16, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of the workers of Celestial Software Inc., dba Lunar Logic,
Eugene, Oregon (hereafter referred as "Celestial Software
Inc.").
Workers of Celestial Software Inc. are engaged in
activities related to the supply of custom computer programming
and managed marketing services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and the major
declining customer(s) of 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of custom computer programming and managed
marketing services by Celestial Software Inc. have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
service supplied by Celestial Software Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customers imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Celestial Software Inc.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Celestial Software
Inc., dba Lunar Logic, Eugene, Oregon, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of custom computer programming
and managed marketing 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 Celestial Software Inc., dba Lunar Logic,
Eugene, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 15, 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 17th day of May 2020.
