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 May 9, 2013, applicable
to workers of First Advantage
Corporation, St. Petersburg, Florida. The
Department’s notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32464).
At the request of a company official,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers are engaged in talent
acquisition services.
The company official reports that
workers in Charlotte, North Carolina;
Bolingbrook, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and
Alpharetta, Georgia have been separated
or are threatened with separation due to
the same shift of services to a foreign
country that has contributed
importantly to separations in St.
Petersburg, Florida. The worker group
includes workers tele-working from
their homes reporting to these locations.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–82,455 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of First Advantage
Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Tapfin, Staffworks, Aerotek Professional
Services, Randstad, Insight Global, LLC, and
RemX Specialty Staffing, St. Petersburg,
Florida (TA–W–82,455), Charlotte, North

AT&T Corporation, a Subsidiary of
AT&T Inc., Business Billing Customer
Care, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated July 8, 2013, the
Communication Workers of America
Union, Local 13550, requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of AT&T Corporation, a
subsidiary of AT&T Inc., Business
Billing Customer Care, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania (subject firm). The
determination was issued on June 6,
2013. The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on July 2, 2013 (78 FR
39776). Workers at the subject firm were
engaged in activities related to the
supply of billing inquiry and billing
dispute resolution services.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings, with
respect to Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the
Act), of no increased imports, during the
relevant period, of services like or
directly competitive with those
supplied by the subject workers.
With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of
the Act, the initial investigation
revealed that the subject firm has not
shifted the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the billing
inquiry and billing dispute resolution
services supplied by the workers to a
foreign country or acquired the supply
of like or directly competitive services
from a foreign country.
Rather, the initial investigation
confirmed that the worker separations
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM
21NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2013 / Notices
are attributable to a shift of the services
supplied by Business Billing Customer
Care to other locations within the
United States.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of
the Act, the initial investigation
revealed that the subject firm is not a
Supplier to, or act as 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).
Finally, the initial investigation
revealed that the group eligibility
requirements under Section 222(e) of
the Act have not been satisfied because
the workers’ firm has not been publicly
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
alleges that the subject firm has shifted
billing services, ordering services, and/
or customer support services to
Slovakia, Mexico, India, and/or the
Philippines. The petitioner also
supplied additional information in
regard to employment figures at the
aforementioned locations.
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
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 23rd day of
October, 2013.

SUMMARY: The Employment and
Training Administration (ETA), U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL), announces
the availability of approximately
$100 million in grant funds, authorized
under Section 414(c) of the American
Competitiveness and Workforce
Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), as
amended (codified at 29 U.S.C. 2916a),
for the Youth CareerConnect grant
program. The program is designed to
provide high school students with
education and training that combines
rigorous academic and technical
curricula focused on specific in-demand
occupations and industries for which
employers are using H–1B visas to hire
foreign workers as well as the related
activities necessary to support such
training to increase participants’
employability in H–1B in-demand
industries and occupations.
Furthermore, given the large number of
H–1B visas in science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM)
industries, pending high quality
proposals, DOL expects a large share of
the grants to support education and
training in STEM industries. The
ultimate goals for the program are to
ensure that participants gain academic
and occupational skills by completing
the program and graduating from high
school; move into a positive placement
following high school that includes
unsubsidized employment, postsecondary education, long-term
occupational skills training, or
Registered Apprenticeship; obtain an
industry-recognized credential in an
H–1B industry or occupation for those
industries where credential attainment
is feasible by program completion, in
addition to a high school diploma; and
earn post-secondary credit towards a
degree or credit-bearing certificate
issued by an institution of higher
education.
As stated under Section 414(c) of
ACWIA, grants under this SGA will be
awarded to partnerships of public and
private sector entities. Approximately
$100 million is expected to be available
to fund approximately 25 to 40 grants.
DOL intends to fund grants ranging from
$2 million to $7 million. Grants can be
used to fund programs in a single site
or to fund multi-site programs.
The complete SGA and any
subsequent SGA amendments in
connection with this solicitation are
described in further detail on ETA’s
