Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 146 / Monday, July 31, 2006 / Notices
whether the petitioning workers are
eligible for trade adjustment assistance,
but whether they produce an article
within the meaning of section 222 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Research, development and technical
support of the existing software or
offshore production of the software is
not considered production of an article
within the meaning of Section 222 of
the Trade Act. Petitioning workers do
not produce an ‘‘article’’ within the
meaning of the Trade Act of 1974.
The investigation on reconsideration
supported the findings of the primary
investigation that the petitioning group
of workers does not produce an article.
Service workers can be certified only
if worker separations are caused by a
reduced demand for their services from
a parent or controlling firm or
subdivision whose workers produce an
article domestically, who meet the
eligibility requirements, or if the group
of workers are leased workers who
perform their duties at a facility that
meets the eligibility requirements.
Conclusion
After 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 at Washington, DC, this 18th day of
July, 2006.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

and a certification issued regarding
eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance, each of the group
eligibility requirements of section 222(b)
