<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 21, 2007 / Notices
not considered production of an article
within the meaning of Section 222 of
the Trade Act. No production took place
at the subject facility and the workers
did not support production of articles at
any affiliated firm in the relevant time
period. Thus the subject firm workers
are not eligible under secondary impact.
The petitioner also alleges that
workers of the subject firm lost their
jobs ‘‘due to off-shoring the services to
India.’’
The allegation of a shift to another
country might be relevant if it was
determined that workers of the subject
firm produce an article. However, the
investigation determined that workers of
Glaxo Smith Kline, Shared Financial
Services Department, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania do not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
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 in Washington, DC, this 14th day of
November, 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
