Metlife Technology, Operations, and Information Technology Groups 
Including On-Site Leased Workers From Adecco, Cognizant, IBM, Infosys, 
Kana, Patni, Siemens, Tapfin, Veritas Moosic, PA, Metlife Technology, 
Operations, and Information Technology Groups Including On-Site Leased 
Workers From At&T Solutions, Chimes, Cognizant, Patni, Siemens, Xerox 
Clarks Summit, PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated August 2, 2010 petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative 
determination regarding the eligibility of workers and former workers 
of MetLife, Technology, Operations, and Information Technology Groups, 
Moosic, Pennsylvania (TA-W-73,210) and MetLife, Technology, Operations, 
and Information Technology Groups, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
73,210A), to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). On August 13, 
2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration. The Department's Notice will 
soon be published in the Federal Register.
    Workers at the subject facilities are engaged in employment related 
to the supply of software testing and quality assurance services, and 
are not separately identifiable by service supplied.

[[Page 71465]]

    Based on the information obtained during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that the subject firm shifted 
to a foreign country a significant proportion of the services like or 
directly competitive with those provided by the Technology, Operations, 
and Information Technology Groups at the Moosic, Pennsylvania facility, 
including on-site leased workers (TA-W-73,210) and the Clarks Summit, 
Pennsylvania facility, including on-site leased workers (TA-W-73,210A), 
and that the shift to India contributed importantly to worker 
separations at the Technology, Operations, and Information Technology 
Groups at the aforementioned facilities.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of MetLife, 
Technology, Operations, and Information Technology Groups, Moosic, 
Pennsylvania, including on-site leased workers (TA-W-73,210) and 
MetLife, Technology, Operations, and Information Technology Groups, 
Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, including on-site leased workers (TA-W-
73,210A), who are engaged in employment related to the supply of 
software testing and quality assurance services, meet the worker group 
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of MetLife, Technology, Operations, and Information 
Technology Groups, including on-site leased workers from Adecco, 
Cognizant, IBM, InfoSys, Kana, Patni, Siemens, Tapfin, and Veritas, 
Moosic, Pennsylvania (TA-W-73,210) and MetLife, Technology, 
Operations, and Information Technology Groups, including on-site 
leased workers from AT&T Solutions, Chimes, Cognizant, Patni, 
Siemens, and Xerox, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania (TA-W-73,210A), who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
January 4, 2009, through two years from the date of this revised 
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or 
partial separation from employment on date of certification through 
two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act 
of 1974, as amended.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 10th day of November, 2010.
