The workers provide telecommunications services. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2011 (76 FR 10399).

At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

New information provided by the company confirms that workers at the Kansas City, Missouri location of Ericsson Services, Inc., currently known as Ericsson, Inc., Service Assurance, Deployment and Integration, and Engineering and IS/IT Divisions are part of the same worker group as the group certified under TA-W-75,056. Moreover, worker separations at the Kansas City, Missouri facility are attributable to the same shift of services that was the basis for certification TA-W-75,056.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include employees of the Kansas City, Missouri location of Ericsson Services, Inc., currently known as Ericsson, Inc., Service Assurance, Deployment and Integration, and Engineering and IS/IT Division, including on-site leased workers from Convergenz, LLC.
