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 February 18, 2020, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Quest Software Inc., Technical Development
and Support Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest Software
US Holdings Inc., Reston, Virginia (TA-W-95,697) and Quest
Software Inc., Technical Development and Support Group, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest Software US Holdings Inc.,
Aliso Viejo, California (TA-W-95,697A). The workers' firm is a
software design, development, and marketing company that also
offers professional services for software installation,
configuration, and operations. The worker group on whose behalf
the petition was filed concerns the technical support workers
supplying technical support assistance services to customers who
have inquiries relating to company products.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner 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 technical support assistance
services which contributed importantly to the worker group
separations at Quest Software Inc., Reston, Virginia and Aliso
Viejo, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Quest Software Inc.,
Technical Development and Support Group, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Quest Software US Holdings Inc., Reston,
Virginia (TA-W-95,697) and Quest Software Inc., Technical
Development and Support Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Quest Software US Holdings Inc., Aliso Viejo, California (TA-W-
95,697A), who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
technical support assistance, 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 Quest Software Inc., Technical Development
and Support Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest
Software US Holdings Inc., Reston, Virginia (TA-W-95,697)
and Quest Software Inc., Technical Development and
Support Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest
Software US Holdings Inc., Aliso Viejo, California (TA-W-
95,697A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 14, 2019, 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 9th day of December 2020.
