Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated, Wilton, Maine; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated May 6, 2014, workers requested administrative 
reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance applicable to 
workers and former workers of Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated, Wilton, 
Maine (subject firm). The determination was issued on March 19, 2014 
and the Department's Notice of determination was published in the 
Federal Register on April 8, 2014 (79 FR 19382).
    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 initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there was no increase in imports by the 
workers' firm or its customers, nor was there a shift in the supply of 
services to a foreign country (or foreign acquisition of such services) 
by the workers' firm.
    The request for reconsideration asserts that the subject firm 
continues to

[[Page 33955]]

supply from a foreign location like or directly competitive services 
while decreasing services supplied within the United States. The 
request for reconsideration included new information in support of the 
allegations.
    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 30th day of May, 2014.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
