understand what information to
provide. In addition, the OWCP has
added an accommodation statement on
the form to inform claimants with a
mental or physical limitation to contact
the OWCP if they need further
assistance in the claims process. Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
section 426(a) authorizes this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C.
936(a).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1240–0028. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2014; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 16, 2014 (79 FR 28557).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1240–0028. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the

Aegis Media Americas; a Subsidiary of
Dentsu Holdings USA, Inc.; Including
On-Site Leased Workers From
Solomon Page Technology Partners;
Boston, Massachusetts; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated June 30, 2014, a
worker requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s negative determination
regarding eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance, applicable to
workers and former workers of Aegis
Media Americans, a subsidiary of
Dentsu Holdings USA, Inc., including
on-site leased workers of Solomon Page
Technology Partners, Boston,
Massachusetts (Aegis Media
Americans). The determination was
issued on May 23, 2014. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on June 6, 2014 (79 FR 32757). Aegis
Media Americans supplies media
marketing and communications strategy
services.
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 negative determination of the
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
petition filed on behalf of workers at
Aegis Media Americans was based on
the findings that the subject firm does
not produce an article within the
meaning of Section 222(a) or Section
222(b) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that the Department made ‘‘an
incorrect assessment of Dentsu Aegis
Network’s services, products and
articles’’; that information technology
(IT) workers’ separation from the subject
firm was due to outsourcing to Tata
Consulting Services (TCS); that a
‘‘significant part of the responsibility of
the Aegis IT workers group (IT Team)
was the monitoring of major servers and
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703

services for Aegis’’; that ‘‘After TSC
started servicing Aegis, the monitoring
of these services was shifted to overseas
teas who now performed the monitoring
duties in India’’; and that Aegis Media
Americans produced an article because
an ‘‘article is the byproduct of the
internal company services, processes
and the product/article itself’’ and that
the articles produced are computer code
& algorithms.
The request also asserts that there
should be no distinction between
computer code for hardware and
computer code for software and that the
databases upon which services rely
(such as research and analysis) are also
articles.
In Former Employees of Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC)
v. United States Secretary of Labor
(Court No. 07–00182), the Department
stated the policy requiring that the firm
employing the subject workers produce
an article domestically; that workers
providing services incidental to the
provision of a services are not engaged
in the production of an article, for the
purposes of the Trade Act; and that the
services provided by a workers’ firm
would not be considered articles,
whether tangible or intangible. The
Department’s determination in the
afore-mentioned case (negative
determination on remand regarding
petitioning workers’ eligibility to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance) was
affirmed by the U.S. Court of
International Trade.
The petitioner did not supply facts
not previously considered; nor provide
additional documentation indicating
that there was either (1) a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered or (2) a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law justifying
reconsideration of the initial
determination. Based on these findings,
the Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.
Conclusion
After careful review of the application
and investigative findings, I conclude
that there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 4th day of
September, 2014.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance.
