TAA (TA–W–74,823 through TA–W–
74,823G issued on November 22, 2010;
TA–W–75,165 issued on February 28,
2011; TA–W–74,396 through TA–W–
74,396C issued on December 29, 2010;
and TA–W–74,149 through TA–W–
74,149A issued on June 30, 2010).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
administrative 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 mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
After the Act as amended in 2009
expired in February 2011, petitions for
TAA were instituted under the Act as
amended in 2002 (Trade Act of 2002).
Because the immediate petition was
instituted on August 5, 2011, the
applicable statute is the Trade Act of
2002.
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 2002
establishes the worker group eligibility
requirements. The requirements include
either ‘‘imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles
produced by such firm or subdivision
have increased’’ or ‘‘a shift in
production by such workers’ firm or
subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with
articles which are produced by such
firm or subdivision.’’
The request for reconsideration
asserts that workers separated at The
Hartford Financial Services, Inc.,
Hartford, Connecticut facility are similar
to workers covered by ‘‘other locations
of The Hartford Financial Services, Inc.
that have been approved.’’
The certifications for TA–W–74,823
and TA–W–75,165 were issued based on
the Department’s findings that the
workers’ firm supplied a service and
that the firm acquired these services
from a foreign country. The acquisition
of services that was the basis for
certification under the Act as amended
in 2009 cannot be the basis for
certification under the Trade Act of
2002 because the two statutes have
different worker group eligibility
criteria.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, previously submitted
materials, the applicable statute, and
relevant regulation, the Department
determines that there is no new
information, mistake in fact, or

misinterpretation of the facts or of the
law.
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.

Syracuse, NY; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application received July 18, 2011, a worker requested
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former workers of Travelers Insurance, a
subsidiary of Travelers Insurance, a Subsidiary of The Travelers
Indemnity Company, Personal Insurance Division, Account Processing/

The negative determination was issued on June 29, 2011. The
Department's Notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on July 29, 2011 (76 FR 43351). Workers of the subject firm

underwriting processing services for Traveler's Insurance.
In the request for reconsideration, the worker asserts that ``we
were under the impression that our petition * * * could be merged or
added as a supplemental to the Knoxville office petition
(75232).''
On August 31, 2011, the Department issued an amended certification
applicable to workers and former workers of The Travelers Indemnity
Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Travelers Companies, Inc.,

determined that the petitioning worker group covered under TA-W-80,147
is eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-

investigation would serve no purpose.
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.
