[TA-W-74,290]
Supermedia LLC, Formerally Known as IDEARC Media LLC, Supermedia
Information Services LLC, Client Care Group and Publishing Operations
Group, Including On-Site Leased Workers of Advavtage (TAC), RESPRCCONN,
TATACONSSV, MODIS, AMDOCS, and Database, Middleton, MA; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By application dated September 23, 2010, the 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 3, 2010 and the Notice of
Determination was published in the Federal Register on September 21,
2010 (75 FR 57517). The workers supply customer service in support of
the subject firm's customers and internal publishing support services.
Workers are separately identifiable by service supplied.
The negative determination was based on the findings there were no
imports of either customer service or publishing support services by
the subject firm. The investigation also revealed that the subject firm
did not produce an article or supply a service that was used by a firm
with TAA-certified workers in the production of an article or supply
service that was basis for TAA-Certification.
The request for reconsideration was filed on behalf of a specific
worker group--workers of the Ad Production-Graphics Division of
SuperMedia, Middleton, Massachusetts.
The request for reconsideration alleges that because the workers of
the Ad Production-Graphics Division are separately identifiable from
workers in other units of the subject firm, information related to the
Customer Care Department and other units are not relevant and should
not be the basis for denying the Ad Production-Graphics Division
workers' eligibility to apply for TAA. The request asserts that the
supply of services provided by the Ad Production-Graphics Division
shifted to India.
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, as
amended.
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 7th day of October 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
