Era Systems, LLC, Formerly Era Systems Corporation, a Subsidiary 
of Systems Research and Applications Corporation, Syracuse, NY; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 2, 2012, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Era Systems, LLC, formerly 
Era Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Systems Research and 
Applications Corporation, Syracuse, New York (hereafter referred to as 
``Era Systems, LLC'' or ``the subject firm''). The determination was 
issued on January 13, 2012 and the Department's Notice of determination 
will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that imports of services like or directly 
competitive with the services supplied by the firm have not increased; 
there has not been a shift to a foreign country of services like or 
directly competitive with the research and development services 
supplied by the firm; and there has not been an acquisition from a 
foreign country of services like or directly competitive with the 
research and development services supplied by the firm. The 
investigation also revealed that Era Systems, LLC is not a Supplier or 
Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who 
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied new 
information regarding a possible shift to/acquisition

[[Page 12081]]

from a foreign country by the subject firm in the supply of services.
    The Department of Labor 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 
workers meet the eligibility requirements to apply for TAA.

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 16th day of February, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
