DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-71,903]


JP Morgan Chase and Company, JP Morgan Investment Banking Global 
Corporate Financial Operations, New York, NY; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated October 12, 2009, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on September 24, 2009. The Notice of 
Determination will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that workers' separations or threat of separations 
was not related to an increase in imports or shift/acquisition of 
business research and clerical support operations to a foreign country.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that 
employment at the subject firm was negatively impacted by a shift in 
services from the subject firm to India. The petitioner also alleged 
that the services performed by workers of the subject firm were 
supplied to external customers.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
workers 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 27th day of October 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
