	Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
	To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance


      In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the 
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility 
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
      The investigation was initiated on July 13, 2006, in response 
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Computer Sciences 
Corporation, Global Transformation Services, employed on-site at 
Farmers' Insurance Group, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-59,705) and 
Computer Sciences Corporation, Global Transformation Services, 
employed on-site at Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi Valley, 
California (TA-W-59,705A). 
      Workers at Computer Sciences Corporation, Global 
Transformation Services, employed on-site at Farmers' Insurance 
Group, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-59,705) and Computer Sciences 
Corporation, Global Transformation Services, employed on-site at 
Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi Valley, California (TA-W-59,705A) 
are engaged in the maintenance and enhancement of existing Farmers' 
Insurance Group software. 
      The investigation revealed that Computer Sciences Corporation, 
Global Transformation Services, employed on-site at Farmers' 
Insurance Group, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-59,705) and Computer 
Sciences Corporation, Global Transformation Services, employed on-
site at Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi Valley, California (TA-W-
59,705A), does not produce an article within the meaning of Section 
222(a)(2) of the Act.  In order to be considered eligible to apply 
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 
1974, the worker group seeking certification (or on whose behalf 
certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or 
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must be 
a relationship between the workers' work and the article produced 
by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision.  The investigation 
revealed that Farmers' Insurance Group, Los Angeles, California and 
Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi Valley, California do not produce an 
article. Therefore, workers of Computer Sciences Corporation, 
Global Transformation Services, employed on-site at Farmers' 
Insurance Group, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-59,705) and Computer 
Sciences Corporation, Global Transformation Services, employed on-
site at Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi Valley, California (TA-W-
59,705A) do not support the production of an article.  
      In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein 
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification 
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance 
(ATAA) for older workers.   
      In order for the Department to issue a certification of 
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified 
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the 
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot 
be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
      After careful review, I determine that all workers of Computer 
Sciences Corporation, Global Transformation Services, employed on-
site at Farmers' Insurance Group, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-
59,705) and Computer Sciences Corporation, Global Transformation 
Services, employed on-site at Farmers' Insurance Group, Simi 
Valley, California (TA-W-59,705A) are denied eligibility to apply 
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 
1974, and alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974.
