Amdocs, Inc., Global Support Services, Advertising And Media AT&T 
Division, New Haven, Connecticut; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 22, 2010, legal counsel of a member 
of the subject worker group requested administrative reconsideration of 
the negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Amdocs, Inc., Global Support Services, Advertising and Media 
AT&T Division, New Haven, Connecticut (subject firm). The negative 
determination was issued on November 9, 2010. The Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on November 23, 
2010 (75 FR 71461).
    The negative determination was based on the findings that the 
worker separations are not attributable to increased imports or a shift 
of services by the workers' firm. Specifically, services shifted to a 
foreign country by Amdocs, Inc. did not contribute importantly to 
worker separations in Global Support Services, Advertising and Media 
AT&T Division.
    The investigation also revealed that the firm is not a Supplier or 
Downstream Producer to a firm with a TAA-certified worker group.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that the 
workers of the Advertising and Media Division are eligible to apply for 
TAA because Section 222(a) and/or Section 222(c) of the Trade Act of 
1974, as amended, has been met.
    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 
petitioning 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 21st day of January, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
