AT&T Reynoldsburg, OH; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 6, 2011, by three petitioners 
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of AT&T, Reynoldsburg, 
Ohio

(subject firm). The determination was issued on December 9, 2010. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on January 3, 2011 (76 FR 182). The workers supply customer 
care call services.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that the 
worker separations are not attributable to increased imports or a shift 
of services to a foreign country. Rather, the investigation established 
that the worker separations are attributable to the workers' firm 
shifting customer care call services to other facilities within the 
United States. The investigation also revealed the firm is not a 
supplier or downstream producer to a firm with a TAA-certified worker 
group.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that 
the subject firm has shifted services to a foreign country.
    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.
