Gensym Corporation, A Subsidiary of Versata Enterprises, Inc., 
Burlington, MA; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 20, 2009, the Division of Career 
Services, Trade Program Manager, Massachusetts, requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers'

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on 
February 4, 2009 and will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that the worker group engaged in IT sales, 
consulting and support services, does not produce an article within the 
meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the Act.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding activities of the workers at the 
subject facility. The petitioners stated that workers of the subject 
firm produced software which was sold to customers.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and determined that the Department will conduct further 
investigation to determine whether the workers of the subject firm were 
engaged in production of articles and whether they meet the eligibility 
requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of March 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
