The determination was issued on October 16, 2012. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the production of mobile underground mining machines and repair components. Workers are not separately identifiable by product. The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the findings that, with respect to Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Act, Joy Global has not experienced a decline in the sales or production of mobile underground mining machines and repair components during the relevant period under investigation. With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of the Act, the investigation revealed that Joy Global did not shift the production of mobile underground mining machines and repair components or a like or directly competitive article to a foreign country or acquire mobile underground mining machines and repair components or a like or directly competitive article from a foreign country. Although workers of Joy Technologies, Inc., Mt. Vernon, Illinois (TA–W–57,700) were eligible to apply for TAA based on a shift in production of mining machinery components to Mexico, the investigation revealed that worker separations at the subject firm PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 were not caused by a shift in production of mobile underground mining machines or repair components to a foreign country. With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of the Act, the investigation revealed that Joy Global is not a Supplier 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) and does not act as a Downstream Producer to a firm (or subdivision, whichever is applicable) 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). Finally, the group eligibility requirements under Section 222(e) of the Act, have not been satisfied since the workers’ firm has not been publically identified by name by the International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in an affirmative finding of serious injury, market disruption, or material injury, or threat thereof. The request for reconsideration included information regarding a possible shift in production. The Department has carefully reviewed the request for reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further investigation to clarify the subject worker group and to determine if workers have met 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.

Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Commercial/Actuarial/
Information Delivery Services (IDS)/Corporate & Financial Reporting 
Group, Hartford, CT; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated September 17, 2012, a state workforce 
representatives requested administrative reconsideration of the 
negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Commercial/
Actuarial/Information Delivery Services (IDS)/Corporate & Financial 
Reporting group, Hartford, Connecticut (The Hartford-IDS Group). The 
determination was issued on August 2, 2012. The determination was 
corrected on September 19, 2012 to clarify the basis for the negative 
determination.
    The Hartford-IDS Group is engaged in activities related to the 
supply of financial services. Specifically, the workers provide 
business and

information technology applications for corporate, regulatory, and 
financial reporting. The group develops databases for creating reports 
for corporate, regulatory, and financial services. The group is 
separately identifiable from other groups at the firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that with respect to Section 222(a) and Section 
222(b) of the Act, Criterion (1) has not been met because a significant 
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have not 
become totally or partially separated, nor are they threatened to 
become totally or partially separated.
    Significant number or proportion of the workers means that: (a) In 
most cases the total or partial separations, or both, in a firm or 
appropriate subdivision thereof, are the equivalent to a total 
unemployment of five percent (5 percent) of the workers or 50 workers, 
whichever is less; or (b) At least three workers` in a firm (or 
appropriate subdivision thereof) with a work force of fewer than 50 
workers would ordinarily have to be affected (29 CFR 90.2).
    The request for reconsideration states that ``The Hartford 
Financial Services employs nearly 10,000 employees in Connecticut. The 
majority work full-time hours and are employed at the 690 Asylum Ave, 
Hartford, Connecticut site, the location of the petition in question * 
* * According to a former employee for whom the 81,815 was filed, his 
Unit was an independent unit isolated from others, but the information 
prepared by his unit, the database, was used by many units within The 
Hartford. His particular Unit encompassed roughly 75 employees. While 
only a few workers have been laid off to date in the specific unit, the 
database was used by many units, including units that have been TAA-
certified.''
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to clarify the subject worker group and to determine if 
workers have met 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 4th day of December 2012.
