Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On December 12, 2012, the
Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
applicable to workers and former
workers of Goodman Networks, Inc.,
Core Network Engineering (Deployment
Engineering) Division, including
workers in the Core Network
Engineering (Deployment Engineering)
Division in Alpharetta, Georgia, Hunt
Valley, Maryland, Naperville, Illinois,
and St. Louis, Missouri, who report to
Plano, Texas (subject firm). The suffixes
used in the initial determination to
identify the workers have been
removed; however, the subject worker
group remains the same.
The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of services of
installation specification writing and
maintenance customer record drawings
for the installation of
telecommunication equipment. The
workers are not separately identifiable
function or service supplied. The
worker group does not include any
leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met
because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the subject
firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met
because subject firm sales of installation
specification writing and maintenance
customer record drawings services have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met
because customer imports of services
like or directly competitive with
installation specification writing and
maintenance customer record drawings
services supplied by the subject firm
have increased during the relevant
period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has
been met because increased customer
imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales
declines at the subject firm.

PNC Bank, National Association, Retail
Bank Franklin, PA; PNC Bank, National
Association, Retail Bank West Chester,
IL; Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application received on January
25, 2013, petitioners requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of PNC Bank, National
Association, Retail Bank, Franklin,
Pennsylvania (TA–W–82,188), and PNC
Bank, National Association, Retail Bank,
West Chester, Illinois (TA–W–82,188A)
(hereafter referred to collectively as ‘‘the
subject firm’’). The negative
determination was issued on December
27, 2012. The Department’s Notice of
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on January 10, 2013
(78 FR 2290). The subject firm supplies
banking and financial services; the
subject worker groups supply call center
services.
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.

The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift to a foreign
country the call center services supplied
by the workers, or like or directly
competitive services, or acquire such
services from a foreign country; that
increased imports by the subject firm of
the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the call center services
supplied by the workers did not
contribute importantly to the workers’
separation, or threat of separation; and
that the workers’ firm is not a supplier
or a downstream producer to a firm that
employed a group of workers who are
eligible to apply for TAA.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that worker group separations at
PNC’s Retail Banks in Franklin,
Pennsylvania and West Chester, Illinois
are attributable to a shift of services to
foreign countries; specifically, that the
subject firm’s confirmation that there
were no increased imports of call center
services in 2010, 2011, and during
January through October 2012 is ‘‘an
admission on the part of PNC that it
does outsource services like or directly
competitive with call center services’’
and that PNC Bank has advertised for a
‘‘Project Manager for PNC Bank at Tata
Consultancy Services’’ in India. The
request also states that the ‘‘other
facilities within the United States’’ to
which call center services shifted from
the Franklin, Pennsylvania and West
Chester, Illinois facilities are ‘‘over 90
miles away resulting in a 2-hour oneway commute.’’
The request for reconsideration also
repeated assertions in the TAA petition,
included copies of certifications
applicable to workers of several banks
(TA–W–82,037; TA–W–81,995; TA–W–
81,832; TA–W–81,616; TA–W–80,440;
TA–W–80,361; and TA–W–80,278), and
referred to attachments to the TAA
petition.
A careful review of previouslysubmitted information shows that the
Department received information from
the subject firm that directly addressed
the allegations of a shift in the supply
of call center services (and like or
directly competitive services) to a
foreign country (including the specific
allegation of the shift of services to
Canada and the United Kingdom); use of
call centers outside the United States;
and increased imports of call center
services (and like or directly
competitive services). The review also
shows that the Department had
considered the supplemental petition
material prior to issuing the negative
determination.
The petitioners did not supply facts
not previously considered or provide

Alliance Managers, including remote workers and workers in Oakbrook

in the Federal Register on September 6, 2012 (77 FR 54927). The
suffixes used in the initial determination to identify the workers have
been removed; however, the subject worker group remains the same.
The subject workers are engaged in activities related to the supply
of the supply of sales of alliance related services or products through
sales employees of the subject firm and are not separately identifiable
function or service supplied. The subject worker group does not include
any leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in Wipro Limited, Wipro Technologies,
Alliance Managers have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the subject firm has
shifted a portion of the supply of services like or directly

products through sales employees of the subject firm, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Wipro Limited, Wipro
Technologies, Alliance Managers.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Wipro
Limited, Wipro Technologies, Alliance Managers, who were engaged in
employment related to the supply of sales of alliance related services
or products through sales employees of the subject firm, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
