T-Mobile Usa, Inc., Core Fault Isolation Team, Engineering 
Division, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application received on May 1, 2013, three workers requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade

[[Page 31593]]

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of 
T-Mobile USA, Inc., Core Fault Isolation Team, Engineering Division, 
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (subject firm). The determination was issued on 
March 15, 2013 and the Department's Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2013 (78 FR 19533).
    The negative determination is based on the Department's findings 
that the subject firm did not shift the provision of services for a 
foreign country; during the relevant period, imports of services like 
or directly competitive with those provided by the subject firm did not 
increase; the subject firm was neither a Supplier nor Downstream 
Producer to a firm (or subdivision, whichever is applicable) 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); and the subject 
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.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that the subject firm is a 
downstream producer to a firm who employed worker groups eligible to 
apply for TAA under TA-W-81,520 and TA-W-81,520G; and the worker 
separations are due to the shift in the supply of services to another 
country.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to determine if the 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 8th day of May, 2013.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
