DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-74,733]


Xpedite Systems, LLC; a Subsidiary of EasyLink Services 
International Corporation, Deerfield Beach, FL; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 21, 2011, 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 Xpedite Systems, LLC, a 
subsidiary of EasyLink Services International Corporation, Deerfield 
Beach, Florida (subject firm). The determination was issued on January 
26, 2011. The Department's Notice of Determination was published in the 
Federal Register on February 2, 2011 (76 FR 7588). The workers provide 
communication, applications, and support services.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that imports 
of services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the 
workers did not increase during the relevant period; there has not been 
a shift to a foreign country by the workers' firm in the supply of 
(like or directly competitive) services; and the subject firm did not 
supply a service that was used by a firm that employed a worker group 
eligible to apply for TAA and used the services supplied by the subject 
firm in the production of an article or supply of a service that was 
the basis for the afore-mentioned TAA certification.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that 
``there was a contract between Xpedite and AppLabs, an Indian company, 
to do customer development work. * * * AppLabs employees located in 
India are writing/testing custom software applications on Xpedite's 
platform.''
    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 4th day of March 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
