workforce official (‘‘I started to work for
M&L Manufacturing, Inc. on August of
1990, but for some reason and without
notification I started to receive my
checks in 2005 under the name of The
Jewelry Stream * * * I was under the
impression that I had worked for the
same company from 1990 to 2008.’’
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 petitioning workers (the
newly clarified worker group, The
Jewelry Stream, Los Angeles, California)
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 10th day of
November, 2010.

period; that the customers did not
increase their reliance on imported
marine hardware while concurrently
decreasing their purchases from the
subject firm; that worker separations or
threats of separation were not related to
an increase in imports of marine
hardware; and that the workers did not
produce an article that was incorporated
in the production of an article by a firm
whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for TAA.
The request for reconsideration
alleged that a lost bid with Sea Ray
Boats Corporation contributed
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration

conduct further investigation to
determine if the petitioning workers

forms, the district director, after

his/her opinion, are warranted, shall
transmit them to the Office of the Chief
Administrative Law Judge with all
available evidence which the parties
intend to submit at the hearing. This

approved for use through March 31,
2011.

Labor is particularly interested in

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

clarity of the information to be

collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on September 10, 2010,
applicable to workers of Hewlett
Packard Company, Enterprise Business
Division, Technical Services America,
Global Parts Supply Chain Group,
including leased workers from QFlex,
North America Logistics, and UPS, Palo
Alto, California. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
September 10, 2010 (75 FR 57982).
At the request of the company, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in design services
and sales compensation operations for
Hewlett Packard Company.
New findings show that worker
separations occurred during the relevant
time period at several other Hewlett
Packard, Enterprise Business Division,
Technical Services America, Global
Parts Supply Chain Group, including:
Teleworkers across California and
workers on-site in Roseville, California;
teleworkers across Arizona; teleworkers
across Florida; teleworkers across
Massachusetts and workers on-site in
Andover, Massachusetts; workers onsite in Minnetonka, Minnesota;
teleworkers across New Hampshire;
teleworkers across New York; workers
on-site in Charlotte, North Carolina;
teleworkers across Ohio; and
teleworkers across Texas and workers
on-site in Houston, Texas.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to include
teleworkers across California and
workers on-site in Roseville, California
(TA–W–74,466); teleworkers across
Arizona (TA–W–74,466A); teleworkers
across Florida (TA–W–74,466B);
teleworkers across Massachusetts and
workers on-site in Andover,
Massachusetts (TA–W–74,466C);
workers on-site in Minnetonka,
Minnesota (TA–W–74,466D);
teleworkers across New Hampshire
(TA–W–74,466E); teleworkers across
New York (TA–W–74,466F); workers
on-site in Charlotte, North Carolina
(TA–W–74,466G); teleworkers across
Ohio (TA–W–74,466H); and teleworkers
across Texas and workers on-site in
Houston, Texas (TA–W–74,466I).
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by Hewlett Packard’s decision
to shift business services to foreign
countries.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–74,466 is hereby issued as
follows:
Conclusion

obtained in the investigation, I
