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 September 15, 2015 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of HTC America, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of HTC Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Strong-Bridge LLC; Parker Staffing Services LLC; Proactive
Staffing Services LLC; The Broad Reach Group LLC; Chameleon
Technologies Inc.; Creative Circle; Robert Half International,
Inc.; Robert Half, Inc.; Filter LLC; H10 Seattle LLC; Aerotek,
Inc.; The Pelsten Group; RPS & DES Media, LLC; Lenati LLC;
Imatch LLC; Valente Solutions, LLC; AIM Consulting Group
Washington, LLC; Hathway Inc.; Ratio Cypress LLC; TFI Resources,
Inc., and Klein Lacy Design LLC, Bellevue, Washington (herein
known as "HTC America, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of sales and marketing services
for electronic devices.
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 the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at HTC
America, Inc.
