The determination was issued on November 17, 2011. The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2011 (76 FR 76186). The workers were engaged in activities related to the production of digital photography, printed proofs and digital files. The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the findings that the subject firm did not import digital photography, printed proofs and digital files (or like or directly competitive articles) in 2009, 2010, or January through June 2011. Surveys of the subject firm’s major declining customers revealed no imports of digital photography, printed proofs and digital files (or like or directly competitive articles) during the relevant period. The investigation also revealed that a shift in production by the subject firm did not contribute importantly to the separations at the subject firm, and that the subject firm is neither a Supplier nor a Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied new information regarding a possible shift to/acquisition from a foreign country by the subject PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 firm in the production of articles like or directly competitive with the digital photography, printed proofs and digital files produced by the subject workers. The Department of Labor 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 worker group at the subject firm meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974. 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 27th day of January 2012. Del Min Amy Chen Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 14, 2011, based on a complaint filed by ITRI. 76 FR 56796-
97 (Sept. 14, 2011). The complaint alleges violations of Section 337 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation 
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain devices for improving 
uniformity used in a backlight module and components thereof and 
products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent No. 6,883,932. The complaint further alleges the existence 
of a domestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named 
as respondents LG Corporation of Seoul, South Korea; LG Electronics, 
Inc. of Seoul, South Korea; and LG Electronics, U.S.A., Inc. of

The Office of Unfair Import Investigation was named as a participating

    On December 21, 2011, ITRI filed a motion for leave to amend the 
complaint to add LG Display as respondents in this investigation. On 
January 3, 2012, the LGE Respondents filed an opposition to the motion.
