 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-80,160]


Pension Systems Corporation, Sherman Oaks, CA; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated August 2, 2011, a 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 Pension Systems 
Corporation, Sherman Oaks, California (Pension Systems). The negative 
determination was issued on July 20, 2011. The Department's Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2011 
(76 FR 50270). The workers are engaged in activities related to the 
supply of pension administration and recordkeeping services.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that, with 
respect to Section 222(a) or Section 222(b) of the Act, was not been 
met because the firm did not produce an article. With respect to 
Section 222(c) of the Act, the investigation 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 stated that the 
subject firm produces software that administers and tracks 401k plans, 
and alleges that the worker separations at the subject firm are due to 
increased customer imports from 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 
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 28th day of September 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
