Technicolor Creative Services, Post Production Feature Mastering 
Division Including On-Site Leased Workers From Ajilon Professional 
Staffing and KForce, Hollywood, CA; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated July 23, 2012, a state workforce agent 
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination 
(issued on June 28, 2012) regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Technicolor Creative Services, Post Production Feature 
Mastering Division, Hollywood, California (subject firm). The worker 
group also included on-site leased workers from Ajilon Professional 
Staffing and KForce. The workers are engaged in activities related to 
post-production services for films.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that Criterion (1) of Section 222(a) of the Trade 
Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), has not been met because a 
significant number or proportion of the workers at the subject firm 
have not become totally or partially separated, nor are they threatened 
to become totally or partially separated, and that the group 
eligibility requirements under Section 222(e) of the Act have not been 
met because the workers' firm has not been publically identified by 
name by the International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic 
industry in an investigation resulting in an affirmative finding of 
serious injury, market disruption, or material injury, or threat 
thereof.
    In request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided new 
information regarding additional worker group separations.
    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 
workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

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 1st day of August, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
