DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-72,933]


Hewlett Packard; Hewlett Packard--Enterprise Business Services 
Formerly Known as Electronic Data Systems, Including On-Site Leased 
Workers From Sun Microsystems, Inc., Dell Computer Corp., EMC Corp., 
EMC Corp. Total, Cisco Systems Capital Corporation, Microsoft Corp., 
Symantec Corp., Xerox Corp., Vmware, Inc., Sun Microsystems Federal, 
Inc., and ABM Business Machines, Inc., Pontiac, MI; Amended 
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 issued a 
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance 
on January 25, 2010, applicable to workers of Hewlett Packard, Hewlett 
Packard--Enterprise Business Services, formerly known as Electronic 
Data Systems, including on-site leased workers from the above listed 
firms, Pontiac, Michigan. The petition is dated October 24, 2009. The 
Department's Notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 5, 2010 (75 FR 10322).
    The worker group covered by TA-W-72,933 is identical to the worker 
group covered by an earlier petition (TA-W-71,468; dated June 25, 
2009). While it is the Department's practice to terminate the later 
petition in order to provide the longest period during which a member 
of the worker group may apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), 
the Department had delayed the investigation for TA-W-71,468 due to a 
technical deficiency and continued the investigation for TA-W-72,933. 
Following the issuance of the certification in TA-W-72,933, the 
Department issued a Notice of Termination of Investigation for TA-W-
71,468.
    An unintended result of the Department's decision is that a portion 
of workers covered by TA-W-71,468 (workers separated on/after June 25, 
2008) are excluded from the certification of TA-W-72,933 (workers 
separated on/after October 30, 2008, through January 25, 2012).
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
include workers covered by TA-W-71,468.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the subject 
firm's acquisition from a foreign country services like or directly 
competitive with the services supplied by the workers at the Pontiac, 
Michigan, facility.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,933 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Hewlett Packard, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 
Services, formerly known as Electronic Data Systems, including on-
site leased workers from Sun Microsystems, Inc., Dell Computers 
Corp., EMC Corp., EMC Corp. Total, Cisco Systems Capital Corp., 
Microsoft Corp., Symantec Corp., Xerox Corp., VMWare, Inc., Sun 
Microsystems Federal, Inc., and ABM Business Machines, Inc., 
Pontiac, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after June 25, 2008, through January 25, 2012, and 
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on date of certification through January 25, 2012, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of 
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 13th day of July 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
