[TA-W-83,184]


Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., North American Division, A Wholly 
Owned Subsidiary of Redflex Holdings, Ltd., Including On-Site Leased 
Workers From Iconma, BPS Staffing, AZ Tech Finder, and Volt Workforce 
Solutions, Phoenix, Arizona; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 18, 2014, a former 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 the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on November 25, 2013 and the Department's 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
February 13, 2014 (79 FR 8736). Workers at the subject firm are engaged 
in employment related to the installation, maintenance, and operation 
services of traffic enforcement systems.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that the subject firm did not shift to, or 
acquire from, a foreign country the services provided by the workers of 
the subject firm; further, neither the subject firm nor its customers 
imported services like or

directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    The request for reconsideration asserts that because the petition 
was filed only for workers of the Engineering Department, the scope of 
the investigation was overly broad and, consequently, detrimental to 
the petitioning workers. The petitioner further asserts that the 
Department's determination was based on inaccurate information and is, 
therefore, erroneous. The petitioner supplied facts not previously 
considered and information indicating a mistake in the determination of 
facts not previously considered. Based on these findings, the 
Department determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has been met.
    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, 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 13th day of March, 2014.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
