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 November 8, 2019, by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on
behalf of workers of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., Accounting
Services, including workers whose wages were reported under
CH2M Hill, Inc., CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., and CH2M Facility
Support Services, LLC, Englewood, Colorado. The worker group is
inclusive on staffing agency workers. The worker group on whose
behalf the petition was filed concerns workers engaged in
activities related to the supply of accounting services.
However, the workers' firm is a global company that offers a
broad range of technical and professional services through
consulting, engineering, project management, program management,
construction management, and other services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
accounting services workers which contributed importantly to
the worker group separations at Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc., Accounting Services, including workers whose
wages were reported under CH2M Hill, Inc., CH2M Hill
Engineers, Inc., and CH2M Facility Support Services, LLC,
Englewood, Colorado, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of accounting 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 Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., Accounting
Services, including workers whose wages were reported
under CH2M Hill, Inc., CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., and
CH2M Facility Support Services, LLC, Englewood, Colorado,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 7, 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 27th day of February 2020.
