    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 February 20, 2016, applicable to workers of International Business 
Machines (IBM), Global Technology Services (GTS) division, including 
on-site leased workers from Collabera, APC Workforce Solutions, Artech, 
CDI, and Infinite, Denver, Colorado (TA-W-91258) (herein known as 
``IBM--GTS''). The Department's notice of determination was published 
in the Federal Register on March 24, 2016 (81 FR 15748).
    During the investigation, it was revealed that the worker group for 
TA-W-91,870 and TA-W-91,258 belong to the same subject firm. As a 
result, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the 
subject firm. The workers at the subject firm were engaged in 
activities related to the supply of information technology services 
(storage engineering, middleware database, and server administration) 
for a client's account.
    The investigation confirmed that worker separations at 
International Business Machines (IBM), Global Technology Services (GTS) 
division, including on-site leased workers from Collabera, Artech, CDI, 
and Infinite, Endicott, New York (TA-W-91258A) and International 
Business Machines (IBM), Global Technology Services (GTS) division, 
including on-site leased workers from Collabera, Artech, CDI, and 
Infinite, Omaha, Nebraska (TA-W-91258B) were due to an acquisition of 
services from a foreign country.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in 
services from a foreign country the supply of services that is like or 
directly competitive to the services supplied by the workers of the 
subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-91,258, TA-W-91,258A, and TA-
W-91,350B is hereby issued as follows:

    All workers from International Business Machines (IBM), Global 
Technology Services (GTS) division, including on-site leased workers 
from Collabera, APC Workforce Solutions, Artech, CDI, and Infinite, 
Denver, Colorado (TA-W-91258); International Business Machines 
(IBM), Global Technology Services (GTS) division, including on-site 
leased workers from Collabera, Artech, CDI, and Infinite, Endicott, 
New York (TA-W-91258A); and International Business Machines (IBM), 
Global Technology Services (GTS) division, including on-site leased 
workers from Collabera, Artech, CDI, and Infinite, Omaha, Nebraska 
(TA-W-91258B) who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 22, 2014 through February 20, 2018, 
and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial 
separation from employment on 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, DC, this 22nd day of August 2016.
