The Travelers Indemnity Company,

Determination Regarding Application

reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of The Travelers

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 4, 2012 / Notices
Indemnity Company, Personal
Insurance Remittance Center, Hartford,
Connecticut (Travelers-PIRC). The
determination was issued on June 27,
2012 and the Notice of Determination
was published in the Federal Register
on July 18, 2012 (77 FR 42337). The
subject workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of remittance
payment processing services related to
premium payments.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that Travelers-PIRC did not
shift the supply of remittance payment
processing services (or like or directly
competitive services) to a foreign
country, or acquire the supply of such
services from a foreign country. Rather,
the services formerly supplied by
Travelers-PIRC are being performed by a
third-party vendor in Texas which also
provides a new service that is supplied
on a limited, intermittent basis by a
resource in India.
The initial investigation also revealed
that Travelers-PIRC did not increase its
reliance on imports of like or directly
competitive services.
In the request for reconsideration, the
workers allege that the ‘‘limited,
intermittent * * * resource in India’’ is
‘‘an entire unit in India, literally
processing an integral and essential part
of the daily work flow, each and every
day, and on a regularly scheduled basis.
Without this unit, the processing of the
vendor would fail in its ability to
process an important part of the daily
work load.’’ The request included nonproprietary support material.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.
Conclusion
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 20th day of
August, 2012.

Including On-Site Leased Workers
From Aerotek, Corporate Management

Excel Personnel, Inc., Englewood,
Colorado; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance
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 June 18, 2012, applicable
to workers of Accellent, Englewood,
Colorado, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Corporate
Management Group (CMG), and
Marathon Staffing. The Department’s
notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on July 10, 2012
(77 FR 40641).
At the request of a company official,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers were engaged in
production of medical device
components.
The company reports that workers
leased from Excel Personnel, Inc. were
employed on-site at the Englewood,
Colorado location of Accellent. The
Department has determined that these

control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Excel Personnel, Inc. working onsite at the Englewood, Colorado location
of Accellent.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–81,603 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Accellent, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Corporate
Management Group (CMG), Marathon
Staffing, and Excel Personnel, Inc.,
Englewood, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after May 10, 2010, through June 18, 2014,
and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under
