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 April 1, 2020 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Olympus Corporation of the Americas, IT Infrastructure
Organization, including on-site leased workers from Agile1,
Center Valley, Pennsylvania (TA-W-95,859); Olympus Surgical
Technologies America, IT Infrastructure Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Agile1, Bartlett, Tennessee (TA-W-
95,859A); National Service Center East, IT Infrastructure
Organization, including on-site leased workers from Agile1,
Bartlett, Tennessee (TA-W-95,859B); Olympus Surgical
Technologies America, IT Infrastructure Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Agile1, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
(TA-W-95,859C); Olympus Surgical Technologies America, IT
Infrastructure Organization, including on-site leased workers
from Agile1, Kennewick, Washington (TA-W-95,859D); Olympus
Surgical Technologies America & Olympus Latin America, IT
Infrastructure Organization, including on-site leased workers
from Agile1, Miami, Florida (TA-W-95,859E); Olympus Surgical
Technologies America, IT Infrastructure Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Agile1, San Jose, California (TA-W-
95,859F); Olympus Surgical Technologies America, IT
Infrastructure Organization, including on-site leased workers

leased workers from Agile1, Redmond, Washington (TA-W-95,859H);
Olympus Surgical Technologies America & Olympus America Inc.,
IT Infrastructure Organization, including on-site leased workers
from Agile1, Southborough, Massachusetts (TA-W-95,859I); and
Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas & Olympus America Inc.
(Scientific Solutions Group), IT Infrastructure Organization,
including on-site leased workers from Agile1, Waltham,
Massachusetts (TA-W-95,859J) (Olympus). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology infrastructure services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm/petitioner.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Olympus.

investigation, I determine that workers of Olympus Corporation of
the Americas, IT Infrastructure Organization, including on-site
