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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 8, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Mobile Broadband
Operation Division, Liberty Lake, Washington. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Volt Workforce Solutions.
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
and testing of software.
The investigation revealed that workers of Agilent
Technologies, Inc., Mobile Broadband Operation Division, Liberty
Lake, Washington, who are engaged in employment related to
production and testing of software meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Agilent Technologies, Inc., Mobile Broadband
Operation Division, contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Liberty Lake, Washington facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Agilent
Technologies, Inc., Mobile Broadband Operation Division, Liberty
Lake, Washington, who are engaged in employment related to
software development and testing 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 Agilent Technologies, Inc., Mobile
Broadband Operation Division, Liberty Lake, Washington,
including on-site leased workers of Volt Workforce
Solutions, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 9, 2010, 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 26th day of February, 2010
